THE LITTLE ALAMO is the real life story of a small, elite unit of USAF
combat Air Police who volunteered to go to a remote outpost near the DMZ
(Demilitarized Zone) between North and South Vietnam. The leader of this
group was Tech. Sergeant Carl L. Bradford and the airmen that followed him
would come to be known as "Bradford's Bandits." They were responsible for
securing the radar site located at Dong Ha. After its second major enemy
attack in less than a month, a news reporter dubbed the site the "Little
Alamo." There were approximately 150 airmen assigned to the air base in
1965. It was the northernmost American base in Vietnam.
