Groupement Mobile 100 was one of the best mobile forces in Vietnam, but they were tasked with one of the toughest jobs, the defense of Vietnam’s southern plateau region. To accomplish their mission the men, tanks, trucks, and artillery of the group spent a lot of time patrolling the highways of the region. The goal was to find the Viet-Minh and, once they had been found, destroy them. Unfortunately, it didn’t always work out that way. The Communists were experts at ambushing the French task forces, and frequently gave much better than they received. Once such instance was when they caught the 4th Company of the 1st Korea in a well-laid trap.

The First Indochina War (generally known as the Indochina War in France, and as the Anti-French Resistance War in Vietnam) began in French Indochina on December 19, 1946, and lasted until July 20, 1954. Fighting between French forces and their Việt Minh opponents in the south dated from September 1945. The conflict pitted a range of forces, including the French Union's French Far East Expeditionary Corps, led by the government of France and supported by the former emperor Bảo Đại's Vietnamese National Army against the People's Army of Vietnam and Việt Minh (part of the Communist Party), led by Võ Nguyên Giáp and Hồ Chí Minh. Most of the fighting took place in Tonkin in northern Vietnam,[29] although the conflict engulfed the entire country and also extended into the neighboring French Indochina protectorates of Laos and Cambodia.
