Operation

Combat Tactical Zone: I
Tactical Area of Operation: southern Laos across from the two northern provinces of the RVN

This was the first major ARVN deployment unaccompanied by U.S. advisors. By this time, Vietnamization was well under way as U.S. troops continued to withdraw. Meanwhile, the Ho Chi Minh Trail was still being used heavily to transport troops and supplies. The Cooper-Church Amendmednt would not allow the use of U.S. ground forces in Laos, even in the form of advisors or air guides. However, the U.S. provided helicopters, fighter-bombers, and B-52s for air support. Through operation DEWEY CANYON II at Khe Sanh, led by the 1st Brigade, 5th Infantry Division, U.S. troops provided logistical support and artillery fire to support the ARVN units. At the opening of the operation, 15,000 ARVN troops invaded Laos along Route 9 and moved toward Tchepone. They built fire support bases (FSBs) along the way to be used as base camps and artillery support. From these, patrols and raids could be sent into the countryside. Estimates that it would take a month for full PAVN divisions to move into the TAO proved grossly wrong. The 304th, 308th and 320th PAVN Divisions were fighting within two weeks. The ARVN advance stopped at A Luoi. After the PAVN attacked with artillery, they used tanks to assault the FSBs. Soon the FSBs fell. Meanwhile, the pivotal U.S. air power was not able to strike the PAVN because clouds prevented the use of jet fighter-bombers. While B-52s could attack in spite of the weather, the U.S. would not use them within 3 miles of the ARVN units unless absolutely necessary. The PAVN knew this and stayed close to the ARVN units to avoid U.S. fire. Even after the weather cleared, AAA and machine guns kept U.S. air power at bay. SAMs posed a problem for the B-52s. President Thieu still wanted to take Tchepone, even though it had been abandoned and had little military value. U.S. Huey helicopters transported troops into Tchepone. From there they searched for PAVN supply caches. Finally, the ARVN began withdrawing from Laos, but due to a lack of training, the retreat was very unorganized. The PAVN intensified their attacks and the Air Force was hindered again by weather and AAA fire. The retreat collapsed into a rout as the PAVN continued to attack. Half of the ARVN force survived largely due to the bravery and selflessness of U.S. helicopter pilots. At the conclusion of the operation, 108 U.S. helicopters were destroyed and another 618 were damaged. Both sides claimed a victory in the operation. President Nixon reported the success of Vietnamization while in Ha Noi the operation was termed the heaviest defeat ever for the Allies. However, the ARVN dependence on U.S. air support and fire was once again revealed.

Tactical Area of Operation: Bien Hoa Province - Rung Sat Special Zone, in a thick mangrove swamp south of Sai Gon

The area of Rung Sat Special Zone had long been a VC and PAVN hideout which threatened Sai Gon. The 1st Battalion, 18th Infantry conducted the operations in the area, often having to wade in hip-deep mud. The companies were rotated every 48 hours to avoid trench foot and allow time to rest. There was no major fighting in LEXINGTON III, though small conflicts occurred along the waterways. The operation ended on 9 June when the 1/18th rejoined the rest of the division to participate in the division-sized operations in EL PASO I and EL PASO II.
