MIKE Force (1)

Mobile Strike Force Command, or MIKE Force, was a key component of United States Army Special Forces in the Vietnam War. They served with indigenous soldiers selected and trained through the largely minority Civilian Irregular Defense Group (CIDG) and were led by American SF and Australian Army Training Team Vietnam (AATTV) personnel.

Mike Force's missions were intended as multipurpose reaction units and to act as a country-wide quick reaction force for securing, reinforcing, and recapturing CIDG A Camps, as well as to conduct raids, special reconnaissance patrols. Mike Force also conducted operations gathering intelligence, disrupting/eradicating VC/NVA activities in remote areas, search and destroy missions and bomb damage assessments (BDA). Mike Forces wer especifically designed for employment under short reaction time conditions and short duration missions, not prolonged combat engagements.

B6-35346 MIKE FORCE (1) includes 2 figures of the special unit posed to communicate with their radio.

Figures come in company’s standard cardboard box labeled with boxart painted by Vladi. Each figure’s parts are served in small zip-lock bags; one for body, one for small parts like head, arms, weapons and field gear. All are lumped into a larger one.

Figures are sculpted in clean and details. Casting is very good with no mistakes or excess. There will be no need for a serious cleanwork other than removing casting blocks. Another assembly and ready to prime kit from BRAVO*6.
