During the Vietnam War, east of Paracel Islands, naval bases far away from the enemy to strike were vital to break through enemy lines and start newer aerial and naval fronts where the US dominated. However, Vietnamese troops due to their location received massive support from Soviet and Chinese, especially military, where aircrafts and ships. Due to their location and influence, they were claimed by China and Vietnam, sharing resources and defending the place. It was vital that the US took action and put the place out of commission. By the southern island, with Macv Sog, Navy Seal and US Marines working together in one secretive operation that conquered the southern island, quickly settling FOBs and securing 2 airfields, one for transportation and another one with fighters ready for any type of response. With success, VPLA quickly took action and built a counter attack operation to retake the southern territory. The US already had a navy response composed with a small battlegroup, but that was ready and not expecting much resistance. Naval response from Vietnam and China would take days to answer and reinforce the area, so the operation would start with a slow but constant progression to saturate VPLA and PLA offering support on the islands.

Although successful, the US suffered casualties with SA-2 SAM systems hidden on a crucial crossing point, which were now an immediate threat that should be taken care of. Even with a naval assault on the island, US casualties would be extreme since logistics were days behind schedule, diverted to support US troops located in South Vietnam. With that problem in hand, Aerial units would prepare for the US landing on the middle island and take control of it before advancing towards the north, landing on the island for the next phase of the operation. And besides that, A naval landing that managed to get past US vigilance advanced towards the western transport airfield, trying to stop any source of supplies to be delivered to the main FOBs at the front lines near the northern beaches.
