Definition
Danger Close can mean fire support from Close Air Support (CAS), artillery pieces or mortars, very close to your own positions.
action
Danger Close recounts the events of the Battle of Long Tan on August 18, 1966 from the perspective of Australian soldiers.
In its urgency, Danger Close is one of the well-known war films such as Black Hawk Down , Saving Private Ryan , Gallipoli - Betrayed to Hell , Breaker Morant and Zulu .
The film is about the experiences of the D-Company, which suddenly faces a large majority of enemy forces in a rubber plantation near Long Tan / South Vietnam and has to fight for their life during a heavy monsoon rain. On August 18, 1966, Major Harry Smith (Travis Fimmel) and his inexperienced company had to fight 2,500 soldiers from the Viet Cong and the North Vietnamese Army. An almost hopeless balance of power. The ammunition is running out and losses are increasing rapidly. Only on the next day, with all forces mobilized, the ailing company can be flown out of the combat zone. The three and a half hour battle was considered to be one of the " wildest and most loss-making " in the history of the Australian - New Zealand ANZAC Corps (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps). While 18 Australians fell and 23 were wounded, the enemy was expected to lose 245 to 500 men. The film's real-life story covers, among other things, the strange, contradicting, and brutal nature of war.
