📍In November 1965, Lieutenant Colonel Harold Moore's 1st Battalion, 7th Cavalry landed at LZ X Ray in the Ia Drang Valley and fought for three days against North Vietnamese regulars at the foot of the Chu Pong massif. This documentary follows Moore's own after action report hour by hour, from Herrick's cut off platoon and Sergeant Clyde Savage's artillery to C Company's stand on the morning of the 15th. It then sets that battalion record beside the division reports, award citations, Air Force studies and official Army histories to show where the numbers and the story changed on their way up the chain.
