Lieutenant Moore

Moore is a U.S. Army officer who served during the Vietnam War as a member of the Special Forces.

History
Moore holds the rank of lieutenant (O-2) was one of Colonel Kirby's detachment officers and a member of his A-Teams deployed in Vietnam. He survived both missions the teams were assigned to including the stationing at Camp 2-9er Savoy and the mission to capture an important North Vietnamese general.

Action
While at Camp 2-9er Savoy, Lt. Moore used the call-sign Savoy 8. During the battle at the camp, Moore commanded a rifle platoon stationed outside the camp perimeter. Captain MacDaniel ordered Moore and his platoon to assist Col. Kirby whose helicopter, returning to the camp, was shot down by enemy fire. Lt. Moore and his platoon succeeded in intercepting the Viet Cong pursuit unit that was after Kirby. Moore informed the Colonel that the Viet Cong had captured all of the landing zones. Col. Kirby explained they simply had to recapture one landing zone to ensure the arrival of the Mike Force that was en route to the camp.

After the battle, Lt. Moore was part of a parachute jump to the location where General Phan Ton Ti was staying in. During the drop, Lt. Moore sprained his ankle badly and was unable to continue the mission. After the mission is completed, Lt. Moore was likely sent to an Army hospital ward to recover. From that point it could be assumed Lt. Moore would be accessed whether as to be cleared to resume duty or be medically discharged based on the severity of his ankle-sprain.
