February 22, 1966: Twelve Australian soldiers from 6 Royal Australian Regiment found themselves surrounded by 200 Viet Cong fighters in the jungles of Phuoc Tuy Province. Outnumbered 17-to-1, with no immediate support, they did something extraordinary that would change counter-insurgency warfare forever.

This is the incredible true story of how Lieutenant Jim Shelton's patrol used superior tactics, ice-cold discipline, and danger-close artillery fire to defeat a vastly superior enemy force—without firing a single shot from their rifles. While American forces pursued massive Search and Destroy operations, the Australians perfected a different approach: stealth, patience, and devastating precision.

Discover how Australian jungle warfare tactics from the Malayan Emergency proved more effective than American firepower doctrine, why the Viet Cong classified Australian patrols as "special forces," and how twelve men achieved what became known as "the most precisely directed artillery mission of the Vietnam War."
