Operation

Combat Tactical Zone: I
Tactical Area of Operation: Quang Tri Province near Khe Sanh

This operation required that the Army and Marines build LZ Stud just north of Ca Lu on Route 9. Because the Allies lacked information on the PAVN forces, the 1st Squadron, 9th Cavalry was sent to find PAVN strong points, destroy anitaircraft guns, and locate LZs. The Marines attacked north to confuse the PAVN on the 31 March. The operation officially began on the 1 April when the 1st Marines attacked westward. The 3d Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division conducted air assaults halfway to Khe Sanh, and converted the LZs to fire bases as they cleared Route 9 for the Marines. On 2 April, the 3d Brigade and the Marines kept up the air assaults to the west. An air assault the next day attacked from the southeast. On the 4th, the Marines in Khe Sanh took Hill 471 while the 2d Brigade attacked an old French fort to the south. In the following days, more air assaults around Khe Sanh met with PAVN resistance. Escape routes into Laos were blocked and the fighting became sporadic. On 11 April the 1st Marines opened Route 9. Though other attacks were planned for the area, the Allies were ordered to disengage. This Operation was the first full-division air cavalry raid in history. Khe Sanh was relieved very quickly and a reenactment of Dien Bien Phu never occurred.

Combat Tactical Zone: I & II
Tactical Area of Operation: Binh Dinh Province and Quang Ngai Province, northern coastal plain and Kim Son and Luoi Ci Valleys

The 1st Cavalry continuously swept the area pursuing the PAVN and VC forces. Helicopters allowed the 1st Squadron, 9th Cavalry to spot and engage enemy forces, and then rapldly insert battalions. Nearly 100,000 inhabitants were evacuated and sent as refugees to the RVN government when the Cavalry sprayed the area with Agent Orange to uncover PAVN and VC forces. Major victories over the Communist forces occurred north of Bong Son at Tam Quan, and at Dam Tra-O Lake. Except for brief periods of time, the entire division served in Binh Dinh until September. However, in December, PERSHING was considered a holding operation and only one brigade monitered the area. In one last battle from 6-20 December, the 1st Brigade and the 1st Battalion, 50th Infantry and 22d ARVN units fought the 22d PAVN Regiment near Tam Quan. The significance of this battle is claimed to be that the Bong son Plain was the least affected during Tet.

Pierce Arrow
Operation
Combat Tactical Zone: DRV
Tactical Area of Operation: North Vietnam

Two U.S. destroyers where attacked in the Gulf of Tonkin on 4 August 1964. As a result of this, President Johnson ordered air strikes which were named operation PIERCE ARROW. Planes flew from the Ticonderoga and the Constellation in 64 sorties. Controversy developed over when to begin the operation. Military planners wanted a dawn attack while Johnson wanted to be able to announce it to the American people before they went to bed. The attack actually began at 1207 Vietnam time. The Vinh petroleum storage facility was destroyed and between one and three PAVN naval vessels were sunk. Two U.S. aircraft were shot down, allowing both sides to claim a victory. The American public supported the air strikes and ratings of the president improved with the bombing.
