That day, when the Baker Team got back from their daily training exercises, there was someone there waiting for them.
It was the medical officer, and once he’d visited Jorgenson, Delmore, Danforth, Rambo and Ortega he left without saying a word. Although the team had been surprised to find him there, they knew very well what it all meant. It was a sign, the beginning of a countdown almost, indicating that the Baker team was going back into action.
In fact, shortly thereafter, Trautman showed up at the base summoning the team to gather in briefing room B.
Only a day later they would be sent to a minute village in the Tri-border Zone, the area which adjoined with Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia.
Their first mission behind enemy lines was awaiting them. Perhaps even their very first 'Black Op'.
Since the details were classified they wouldn’t have received all the Intel until they officially got the green light.
This would have been their first over the border mission, or as they liked to refer to it instead, as 'over the fence'.
This time they would be on their own.
They had twenty-four hours at their disposal to close any of their pending training activities with the ARVN and gather all of their equipment before the transfer.
So, the Baker team got to it.
