Vietnam Battle Drill

CONOPS

Concept of Operations

Situation:

The Vietnam War was a 20 year conflict (1955-1975) between the communist North Vietnamese government and South Vietnam, an American ally. Over 3 million people died during the Vietnam War, including over 58,000 Americans. Vietnam was a long, costly, and unpopular war and our veterans didn’t get the recognition they deserved for their bravery and sacrifice. There were no homecoming parades and many were publicly scorned for their service - voluntary or involuntary. Let’s show Vietnam vets they’re honored and remembered by breaking a sweat with a functional fitness workout.

Mission:

Honor Vietnam veterans and give them the homecoming they deserved by taking on our Vietnam Battle Drill.
