The story

In 1964, Major Asa Barker, a weary veteran of World War II and the Korean War, is given command of a poorly-manned US Army advisor outpost overlooking three villages in South Vietnam. He is ordered to reoccupy a nearby deserted hamlet named Muc Wa on the Da Nang-to-Phnom Penh highway where a massacre of French colonial troops had occurred a decade before, during the First Indochina War. Barker and his executive officer, the career-oriented Captain Olivetti, order four replacements to accomplish the mission.
