Harvest Moon
Operation
Dates: 12/8/1965 - 12/20/1965
Combat Tactical Zone: I
Tactical Area of Operation: Quang Nam Province; Phuoc Ha Valley, south of Da Nang

This operation resulted from Johnson's decision to commit ground troops and was a test of Westmoreland's strategy using search-and-destory missions. It also tested the Marine tactics and equiptment. The ARVN units attacked on their way to the operation, and had to be relieved by the Marines later. The Marines operated under a temporary command structure called Task Force DELTA. They were supposed to trap the VC from the flank and rear, but also had to rescure the ARVN. Finally on the 10 December they counterattacked overland. The Special Landing Force (SLF) had difficulty securing its landing zones until the VC withdrew into the Phuoc Ha Valley. B-52s were sent in to bomb the valley positions, but the VC had already pulled out. During this operation, the Marines learned much about coordinating attacks and air support and advanced planning.

Operation
Dates: 7/7/1966 - 8/3/1966
Combat Tactical Zone: I
Tactical Area of Operation: Quang Tri Province, between Route 9 and the DMZ; Ngan Valley (Helicopter Valley)

Because Westmoreland disagreed with the Marine emphasis on counterinsurgency over large-unit operations against PAVN forces, he launched them on reconnaisance operations in the Quang Tri Province to measure PAVN buildup. The code name for these operations becam HASTINGS. Throughout the extent of HASTINGS, fighting occurred between Route 9 and the DMZ. The well-equiped PAVN division often ambushed the Marines. For the first time in the war, B-52s bombed the DMZ. Some of the heaviest fighting occurred the 12-25 July. The largest and most violent operation during the war at that time, HASTINGS ended the Marine emphasis on pacification and forced them to respond to the North Vietnamese and an expanded war.

Tactical Area of Operation: Kontum Province, near Dak To and at the Tou Morong Special Forces camp

The 24th PAVN Regiment had surrounded the Vietnamese irregulars at the Tou Morong Special Forces Camp and the 1/327th and the 1st battalion, 42d Regiment ARVN fought to evacuate the garrison. Afterwards, the 1/327th followed the PAVN into the surrounding area. The PAVN attacked an artillery position. On the 7 June they seriously injured the 1/327th when it wandered into a PAVN base camp. The 2/502d was sent into the battle, and this additional infantry combined with artillery bombarment saved the 1/327th. The PAVN continued to attack at night and nearly overran a USA night position.The remaining 1/327th once again found the PAVN outside of Tou Morong, and the 2/502d acted as a blocking force from Dak To. In an attempt to entrap the PAVN Regiment, the 101st's 2/327th and the Cavalry's 1/5th and were flown in. Airstrikes and B-52 sorties resulted in many PAVN casualties. On 17 June, a conflict between a company of the 1/327th and a small PAVN force resulted in the 1st Cavalry gunships firing upon the position. Finally, the PAVN withdrew.

Tactical Area of Operation: North Vietnam to South Vietnam to the United States

There were four stages to the return of POWs. The first began on 12 February and the last ended a day late on March 29. The POWs were initially received at Sai Gon, Ha Noi, and Hong Kong depending on whether they were released by the VC, DRV, or China respectively. Then they were flown to Clark Air Force Base in the Philippines. There they were debriefed and medically examined. Those released could go to a U.S. medical hospital for recovery. 591 U.S. POWs returned. Some had survived the longest captivity of prisoners in U.S. history and had become the focus of respect and affection. They returned to the United States to a very rare hero's welcome. The release of the POWs gave American a sucessful ending to the war.
