...because your first assignment is to

go back to your outfit and bring back...

...everything you took.

- You understand me, Sergeant?

- Yes, sir.

See to it.

Carry on.

Sergeant?!

That's what the man said.

Sergeant.

Sergeant!

Everybody hit the deck!

Up and at 'em!

Rise and shine!

Up and at 'em!

Let's go!

Get the lead out!

On your feet!

Let's go!

Come on, soldier, out of the sack!

Everybody up!

It's 3:
30, let's go!

On your feet, soldier, on your feet.

Holy Toledo!

It's only 3:
30.

3:
30? Is that right, Sarge?

That's right, soldier boy.

You'd better get some sleep.

We got a lot of work to do tomorrow.

On your feet, soldier, on your feet.

What kind of a...

You got 10 minutes to pack.

Pack in 10 minutes? Takes me longer

than that to get my heart started.

- What are you doing?

- I'm packing!

You pack what Uncle Sam issued

and that's all. You got 9 minutes.

- Why the countdown?

- You got 8.

Where are we going?

You'll get the word.

On the way out,

everybody grab his gear.

Welcome to Da Nang.

Hi, Mike.

- Good to see you, Frank.

- Me, too.

- Captain MacDanial.

- How are you?

- I got the jeep right over here.

- Fine.

Captain, will you see

the men get all their gear?

Here we go. Hop in.

- I've been on that plane for hours.

- You'd rather walk?

- I sure would!

- Good, let's stretch our legs then.

Reynolds, meet us at Colonel Cai's

office and watch that weapon.

Yes, sir.

I'm sure glad

it's you relieving me.

- Don't hurry me. I got three weeks.

- I know. That was a great idea.

- How's your back?

- It's coming along slow but sure.

Be glad when I can move around

and burn off some of this.

This truck for us?

That's service.

Okay, grab your gear.

Arthur E. Fuller.

I knew that guy.

Named a field after him.

He won the Distinguished Service Cross.

Posthumously.

Better grab your gear.

I suppose you'll

take the long way back home.

Go through Hong Kong, pick up

a little yardage and some screens.

No, I don't think so.

My wife said not to bring anything

she couldn't either cook or play with.

- What's my opposite number like?

- His name's Colonel Cai.

He's a good man, resourceful,

intelligent and has a lot of initiative.

- Outstanding?

- Outstanding!

- Chung See Bado! Good to see you.

- Thank you, sir.

Glad you're in the outfit.

Smart looking honor guard.

I recognize most of them.

Even those you don't recognize

know of you.

- How come?

- They got the word.

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon.

Colonel Cai, Colonel Kirby.

- I'm happy to make your acquaintance.

- Thank you.

Sit down.

I have heard much about you

from Colonel Morgan and others.

If half of what I have heard is true,
