There is a VC sweep comming down one of the tributaries near our base.  We've worked hard to get those villagers on side and they're counting on us to prevent VC retribution.  Head up river and protect those villagers.  Be warned colonel, this is not just a platoon visiting to collect tax from one village at a time.  Once you provide resistance you may have enemy coming overland from other villages as well.  Also, your mission is to protect the village - it won't do to let the VC take over and then chase them off!**Switch the villagers to AI control.  Some may fight and some may run, none are under your command.
