Tactical Area of Operation: Batangan Peninsula in Quang Ngai

In this operation, the U.S. forces helped to round up VC forces. They relocated civilians to tents where they were screened for VC cadres, and then returned home. CORDS and the government approved these actions because the civilians would be returned to their homes in about a month. When the operation began, the USMC battalions landed on the peninsula while Task Force Cooksey from the 23d Division blocked the southern boundary. During the time of the operation, Army engineers destroyed more than 13,000 yards of underground passages and hiding places along with all the houses in the area of operation. The 23d Division claimed it identified 256 memebers of the Viet Cong Infastructure, though some reports place the number as low as 50. The civilians were not allowed to rebuild on their original home sites, but were moved to new settlements south of the peninsula. It was not untl 1971 when security improved enough to allow the refugees to return home. This operation mainly succeeded in alienating the people. There were no lasting military gains. The area remained insecure and the VC continued to assert a major influence on the people. This operation was later followed by NANTUCKET BEACH.

Combat Tactical Zone: I
Tactical Area of Operation: Quang Tri and Thua Thien Provinces, A Shau Valley

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.

Arc Light (B-52 Raids)
Operation
Dates: 6/18/1965 - 8/15/1973
Combat Tactical Zone: South Vietnam and Laos
Tactical Area of Operation: South Vietnam and Laos, flown from Thailand and Guam

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.
