During his first day in Vietnam, a soldier may have undergone orientation and received briefings about the local terrain, enemy tactics, and rules of engagement. He might have been assigned to a unit and introduced to his fellow soldiers. Additionally, he may have participated in a patrol or other mission to familiarize himself with the operational environment.
