In war zone C near the Cambodian border in Da Nang, Captain Joe Stilwell III, air operations officer with the 1st Battalion, 18th Infantry, 1st Infantry Division, deals with pressure from living up to the Stilwell name while hoping for command of a rifle company. He coordinates air observers and ground troops during jungle operations and napalm strikes as his unit pursues Viet Cong forces. His father Brig. Gen. Joseph Stilwell II, missing in a Pacific crash, had been commander of the Special Forces Training Center at Ft. Bragg, prompting the younger Stilwell to return to Vietnam after a brief U.S. home rest.
