It is a prequel to Vietcong, occurring a 3 months before the events of that game. In Fist Alpha you play the main character of Sergeant First Class Douglas Warren. All the members of the team from the original Vietcong are present, except initially for Le Duy Nhut (Nick).

The fate of SFC Douglas Warren is mentioned at the end of the game in a paragraph, but also it is mentioned on the Arrival mission 27th June 1967 in the original Vietcong. As his replacement; Steve R. Hawkins is being airlifted into Nui Pek base, C.J. Hornster talks of the circumstances of which led to Douglas's death, he was killed in action by a single AK shot to the head on a night ambush, at a village, where the VC had been stealing the rice off of the local villagers.
