I shot this video in June of 2023 at Operation Imperial Lake, a Vietnam War reenactment held in southern Ohio. The event takes place in April of 1971, following the actions of the 1st Marine Division. I decided to model my video off of news reports of the period, doing my best to keep everything as accurate as possible. I hope you all enjoy!

I served in Iraq in 06… First armored division, IRONSIDES. And I knew MANY Vietnam vets… great guys. And I’ll say this the 2 things that would kill this reenactment are if the conversations and the downtime didn’t feel natural… like real life banter was happening in that moment… and if too many mannerisms from 2023 or New terms and phrases were heard.. again for the “most” part didn’t happen…. Like the other dude said… almost forgot it was a reenactment! Really awesome video.

i was one of the attendees of this event, all of us but me especially me personally try to make sure our speech and mannerisms reflect that of the time period. down to calling equipment what original troops would and not modern nicknames. It means a lot that that detail wasnt lost on atleast one person! from me and the other morons who like walking for fun, thank you. and thank you for your service

By 1970 Im sure Marines weren't issued M-14's which most preferred over the M-16A1..

Shit man this looks cool, PAVN's my main but I might plan on coming down as ARVN infantry

@kevinduong337 5 ай бұрын

The event coordinator expressed interest in getting more ARVN in for future events. The past 2 events had only two ARVN interpreters since there weren't very many Vietnamese-American reenactors living in the Midwest.

Oh sweet. My friend and I created our own ARVN unit based on the 5th Division in the midwest, we got almost a squad in but kits are still WIP. I'm almost done with my infantryman kit and I just need the M1 rifle. Hopefully in the near future, we can get some 5th div guys to join the fight!
