The bộ đội, foot soldiers, are the core of the infantry companies. As the troops of B3 Front are some of the best in the PAVN, they have an almost equal mix of the newer AK47 assault rifles and older SKS carbines.

Each squad also contains a B40 rocket launcher, a Chinese copy of the Soviet RPG-2.

The PAVN Infantry Company box set contains 1 x command team, 8 x assault rifle teams, 6 x B40 teams with optional upgrades to B41 teams & 2 x optional LMG teams.

The Rifle Company (Airmobile) was a lean organisation transported and supplied by helicopter. It fields three rifle platoons under a captain, supported by a mortar section in the company headquarters. In theory it also had an anti-tank section with recoilless rifles, but these were left in the United States as the PAVN was not expected to field tank units, and if they did, heavier weapons would take care of them.

The United States Lt.Col Moore's Firebase box set contains Lt.Col Moore and an Airmobile Mortar Platoon. Also includes a downed Huey Slick objective.

The M113 APC (armoured personnel carrier) was developed to fill the same role as the WWII M3 half-track carrying infantry up to the edge of the battlefield safe from artillery and longrange fire. In Vietnam the mechanised infantry battalions used their M113 ‘tracks’ much more aggressively.

The 25th ‘Tropic Lightning’ Division fitted ‘Okinawa’ pattern gun shields to their commander’s machine-gun and fired the squad M60 machine-gun over the side, only dismounting when necessary for patrolling or security.

The M132 was an M113 APC modified into a mobile flame thrower. The cupola was replaced with the M10-8 flame gun and the passenger compartment was taken up by four 50 gallon (190 litre) spherical flame fuel tanks.

Nicknamed the ‘Zippo’ after a popular brand of cigarette lighter, the M132 can flame for 32 seconds at a range of up to 200m.
