In the game
Mason's unit defends the hilltop Marine base during the 1968 siege, fighting off waves of North Vietnamese troops across the trenches and airstrip.
The real place
The Siege of Khe Sanh lasted from January to July 1968 and was one of the longest battles of the Vietnam War. The base sits on a plateau above Route 9, south of the old Demilitarized Zone.
Visiting
The site has a small museum, restored bunkers, aircraft and parts of the airstrip. Day tours run from Huế, about three hours away by road.
