Tactical Area of Operation: Cambodian Border of the Pleiku Province; Pleiku and Kontum Provinces - Ia Drang Valley, near Chu Pong massif

This operation followed SAM HOUSTON with the 1st Brigade patrolling from Duc Co to the Plei D'Jereng Special Forces Camp and the 2d patrolling south toward the Ia Drang Valley. The operation included eight major military engagements, during which the PAVN often attacked and then were forced to retreat due to USA artillery and air strikes. By early fall, it was obvious that the main thrust had moved into the Kontum Province at the location of operation GREELY. 0n 12 October, FRANCIS MARION and GREELY were combined into Operation MACARTHUR.

Frequent Wind
Operation
Dates: 4/29/1975 - 4/30/1975
Combat Tactical Zone: III
Tactical Area of Operation: South Vietnam - Saigon area, War Zone C

FREQUENT WIND began at 1051 on the 29 April. Before this, RVN aircrews had jettisoned bombs and fuel tanks on the runways leaving them unusable. Americans and endangered South Vietnamese had to be evacuated by helicopter. 865 Marines were moved to the area to provide security for the operation. 4,500 Vietnamese and 395 U.S. citizens were evacuated. The last to leave were the Marines and the demolition teams. A large-scale airlift from the U.S. Embassy had never been planned, but when the Marine commander learned that several thousand Vietnamese and Americans were stranded in the compound, he directed helicpters there. Only one CH-53 could land in the courtyard and the roof would only support CH-46s. As it got dark and thunderstorms moved in, the crowd outside the embassy left, but flying became much more difficult. Flights continued through the night with only an hour pause while the Marines were evacuated from the DAO. Meanwhile, Washington feared that refugee flights might continue forever, and at 0430 the pilots were ordered to only fly out Americans. By 0500 the last Americans and Ambassador Martin were flown from the embassy. At 0753 the last helicopters loaded the Marine security force and left for the fleet. About 420 Vietnamese were left in the compound and thousands more in Saigon. 978 Americans and about 1,100 Vietnamese had been evacuated.

Operation
Dates: 12/18/1965 -
Combat Tactical Zone: IV
Tactical Area of Operation: Mekong Delta

This operation formed when it became obvious that Operation MARKET TIME, while successful at sea, did not work well on the inland waterways. The Navy adopted fiberglass-hulled river patrol boats (PBRs) to operate in the shallow water. These boats were based around either landing ship tanks (LTSs) or at shore installations. Bell UH-1B Iroqois helicopters, organized in Helicopter Attack Light Squadron 3 (HAL-3), provided air support and were stationed with the PBRs. VAL-4 (Navy Attack Light Squadron 4), which consisted of 0V-10 Broncos, bridged the gap between helicopter and jet. The operation included day and night patrols to inspect Vietnamese river craft, enforce curfews, establish ambushes, support Allied troops ashore, minesweep the Lon Tao channel, and insert SEALs in Mekong Delta. In 1968 parts of GAME WARDEN was combined with other task forces to conduct SEALORDS. After Vietnamization, GAME WARDEN shifted material to the South Vietnamese Navy (VNN). By December 1970, Task Force 116 was disestablished.
