Irving
Operation
Dates: 10/1/1966 - 10/24/1966
Combat Tactical Zone: II
Tactical Area of Operation: Binh Dinh Province - central coastal area north of Qhi Nhon

This operation developed from Operation Thayer I when the 1st Cavalry pushed the PAVN forces back from the Kim son Valley to the coastal plain. While the ROK Capital Division and ARVN Division set up in blocking positions, the 1st Squadron, 9th Cavalry reconnaissance team uncovered entrenched PAVN forces. More 1st Cavalry Brigades entered the conflict and support came from artillery, helicopter gunships, and naval gunfire. The most intense fighting of the conflict occurred at Hoa Hoi, where the 7th and 8th battalions of the 18th PAVN Regiment were cornered. Though very few civilians died, 10,000 became refugees. Even though IRVING offered a great display of airmobility and exemplified a combined forces operation, the PAVN were soon back in Kim Son and Suoi Ca. There were 1,000 PAVN POWs.

Dates: 1/24/1966 - 3/6/1966
Combat Tactical Zone: II
Tactical Area of Operation: Bong Son Plain and surrounding areas in the Binh Dinh Provinces

The Masher / White Wing operation became the first major campaign to cross corps boundaries when the 3d Marine Division on Operation DOUBLE EAGLE crossed into the Binh Dinh Province. The ARVN operations supporting U.S. sweeps included THAN PHONG II and LI N K T-22. During Phase I, heavy helicopter assaults near Bong Son made contact with the PAVN and VC and forced them back into the ARVN Airborne Brigade. Phase II was an air assault into the An Lao Valley by the 1st Cavalry Division's 2d Brigade. Their sweep of the area did not make enemy contact and ended when they linked with the Marines. However, the Phase III air assault into the Kim Son Valley by the 3d Brigade encountered the 93d Battalion, 2d VC Regiment and drove them for the area. In Phase IV, the 1st Brigade monitered Highway 1 while the 2d Brigade cleared the Cay Giep Mountains by pushing the enemy into the 22d ARVN division. The operation ended when the 1st Cavalry completed its circle of the Bong Son Plains and arrived back at the Cay Giep Mountains. Masher / White Wing was meant to return the civilians to the government, however the fighting resulted in many refugees. Very little pacification efforts were taken. Though thought to be destroyed, the 3d PAVN division soon returned.
