search-and-destory operation The major battle of the operation occurred on 11 April when Company C, 2d Battalion, 16th Infantry fought the VC force. The U.S. killed a few of the VC and then followed the retreating soldiers. However, the VC were falling back on their battalion base. The VC attacked with mortar, automatic weapons and human-wave assaults. Company C had to be evacuated by helicopter. Company B reached the battle area before dawn, but there were no other major contacts. During this operation, Allied forces penetrated VC jungle, but the area was still controlled by the Communists. Gen. Johnson, the Army Chief of Staff, realized that more high casualty battles like Operation ABILENE would result in a loss of the American public's support.

to push VC away from a major rice producing area near Sai Gon; search-and-destroy In December of 1966, the US troops occasionally made contact with the VC near Duc Hoa. In 1967 the Division moved to along Highway 1. CEDAR FALLS was taking place at the same time and part of the division temporarily served there. In Late February the divison saw the heaviest action. The 4th Battalion, 9th Infantry and the 3d Squadron, 4th Cavalry engaged in a fight northeast of Cu Chi. After CEDAR FALLS ended, the action shifted to around Duc Hoa. During the time that the 25th Division was carrying out ALA MOANA, elements of the division pariticpated in JUNCTION CITY. Most of the division was assigned to clearing operations during ALA MOANA. However, little contact was made. After the operation concluded, the 25th Division focused on pacification in Hau Nghia Province.

to keep pressure on PAVN units and base camps in the A Shua Valley; to disrupt and destroy PAVN units to prevent attacks on the coastal provinces (included battle of Ap Bia Mountain or "Hamburger Hill"); a sweep and clear operation During the operation, most units encountered some resistance from the PAVN. However, the 3d/187th engaged in the most heavy fighting as they approached Ap Bia Mountain (Hill 937). Here the PAVN uncharacteristically decided to stand against U.S. frontal attacks. The 3d/187th assaulted the hill for three days before they were reinforced. Then two other 101st Airborne Division battalions and a battalion from the 3d ARVN Regiment joined the original battalion to fight against the 7th and 8th Battalions of the 29th PAVN Regiment in the major battle of APACHE SNOW. It became one of the bloodiest battles in the war. A two battalion assault nearly took the hill on 18 May when weather forced them back. Finally on the 20 May, the PAVN were forced out of A Shau and into Laos. However, they soon returned after the Allied forces withdrew. This caused more controversy in the U.S. concerning the lives spent to take the territory when it was only abandoned for the Communists to reoccupy. Eventually this led to limitations on U.S. military operations. Vietnam: Order Of Battle, by Selby L.

31 B-52s lost



USAF B-52 bombing missions to support ground tactical operations and to interdict enemy supply lines in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia and later to strike at targets in North Vietnam These operations were most often used in close air support (CAS) bombing raids of enemy base camps, troop concentrations, or supply lines. They were usually carried out at high altitudes and often called "aerial excavations" by the ground forces. Most of the sorties were carried out in South Vietnam, though a few were flown near the DMZ. The first ARC LIGHT raid occured on 28 June 1965, and though the media questioned its effectiveness, Gen. Westmoreland continued to support the program. Most missions during 1965 were saturation attacks, with a few tactical support missions. Eventually the need to deliver bigger payloads led to increasing the amount of bombs the B-52D could carry in the "Big Belly" program. In April of 1966, the bombers raided outside South Vietnam for the first time when bombing Laos to stop PAVN inflitrations in the Mu Gia Pass and later the Ho Chi Minh Trail. In 1968, the B-52s supported the U.S. Marines at Khe Sanh and attacked other targets including the A Shau Valley, the Kontum-Dak To border area, and the PAVN/VC infiltration area in War Zone C. Strikes continued throughout 1969. Vietnamizationn began to reduce ARC LIGHT raids during 1970, though missions continued to be flown in Laos and Cambodia. In April 1970, the B-52s flew in COMMANDO HUNT III. In response to the PAVN's Easter Offensive, the bombers participated in raids on Ha Noi and Hai Phong. LINEBACKER I and LINEBACKER II were composed of ARC LIGHT missions. Even though Ha Noi agreed to return to negotiations on 30 December 1972, the bombings continued until 15 August 1973 due to cease-fire violations. At the end of ARC LIGHT, 55 percent of the sorties were flown in South Vietnam. The USAF lost 31 B-52s, 18 to enemy fire and due 13 to operations problems.

part of the larger TOAN THANG III Operation beginning on 17 February 1969; to enact the Vietnamization program with securing the local hamlets from VC and PAVN inrfiltration and control, while supporting the ARVN units that were to manage the area. The operation targeted the 7th PAVN Division. Major contact developed on 30 March as the 1st Squadron, 4th Cavalry followed a platoon-sized PAVN force north until the U.S. men came under fire in an ambush. The cavalry-men positioned their armored personnel carriers (APCs) so that all the automatic weapons could be fired at the attackers. The Charlie Troop began to move south. Then Bravo Troop moved in to continue the attack. The PAVN suffered heavily. This operation was followed on 10 April by ATLAS POWER.

A search-and-destroy operation meant to combat test the 196th Light Infantry Brigade against "light" guerrilla opposition This operation began as a single battalion air assault leading to a search-and-destroy mission. By the time it ended in November, it had expanded into the largest U.S. Joint operation of the war at that time. During Phase I, there was relatively little contact with the VC as the 196th Infantry Brigade conducted operations in the area. In late October / early November(?) the 196th Brigade and the 1st Battalion, 27th Infantry encountered the 9th VC Division. During Phase II, the 27th Infantry and the 9th VC Division's Regiments fought a major three day battle. More contacts with the VC expanded the operation and command eventually passed from the 1st Infantry Division to II Field Force, the U.S. headquaters near Saigon. During Phase III, the 1st Infantry Division took over the fight. Soon afterwards, the 3d Brigade, 1st Division moved into Suoi Da and the 1st Battalion, 28th Infantry moved to a landing zone to the north. The 2d Battalion, 28th Infantry had cleared the area and both battalions were in position by nightfall. On 8 November, reconnaissance-by-fire began under the 1st Battalion's command. The VC began to use intense fire and the VC began to assault the perimeter. 1st Battalion artillery fire and air strikes defeated the VC. The operation included many other battles between the Allied forces and the Communists, but the battle on the 8th was probably the most significant. At its conclusion, a large base camp was discovered which housed one of the largest weapons caches found up to that time. Operation ATTLEBORO illustrated that, due to better maneuverability and firepower, the Allies had an advantage in stand-up fights. This would be tested again in later operations.
