Description:

This is a small infantry config faction made using SOG Prairie Fire & S&S assets. I really wanted to utilise the excellent Bao Gam camouflage from S&S which closely resembles the unique South Korea (ROK) camouflage. I have tried to base the faction addon on research. In particular i have used several Osprey Miltary books depicting ROK Army & Marine units from the later phases of the Vietnam War. However i have added certain ‘fantasy’ elements to make use of some of the cool S&S gear!

I have given the South Korean units Chinese voices to allow for better immersion when in firefights.

I used ALIVE’s ORBAT creator to make the factions so you cannot override the units’ loadouts unlesss you have ALIVE loaded. I don’t know how to get around this i’m afraid. You can still add items and change gear once the mission starts through Arsenal/boxes etc. At the moment the only units included are ROK Marines. I may add ROK Army units later.

You’ll find the following groups in the mod under ‘South Korea – Vietnam War’:

ROK Marines (1968)
– ROK Marine Demolitions Team (68)
– ROK Marine Platoon (68)
– ROK Marine Rifle Squad 1 (68) (Has a point man as lead element)
– ROK Marine Rifle Squad 2 (68)
– ROK Marine Sniper Team (68)

ROK Marines Reconnaissance (1968)
– ROK Marine Recon Demolitions Team (68)
– ROK Marine Recon Heavy Squad (68)
– ROK Marine Recon Team 1 (68)
– ROK Marine Recon Team 2 (68)
– ROK Marine Recon Sniper Team (68)

ROK CD (Capital Mechanised Division) (1967)
– ROK CD Demolitions Team Light & Full (67)
– ROK CD Platoon Light & Full (67)
– ROK CD Rfile Squad 1 Light & Full (67)
– ROK CD Rfile Squad 2 Light & Full (67)
– ROK CD Sniper Team Light & Full (67)
– ROK CD Sniper Team NVG (67) (For night ops)

UPDATE 3/7/23 – Decided to use the SOGPF ROK helmets instead of the S&S old style US Marine ones. Images have been updated to reflect this.
UPDATE 29/10/23 – Now includes ROK Army Capital Mechanised Division units in light (buttpacks & bandoliers) and Full (backpacks) loadouts.

Thanks to simcardo for the wonderful S&S & the amazing SOGPF team at Savage.
