Sergeant Patrick Fitch Interview on Khe Sanh
Audio Item Number: 992AU0706
  • 992AU0706
[Number of Pages: 0]
Sergeant Patrick Fitch, a radio operator, discusses his experiences at and observations of Khe Sanh, a Marine Corps base, between 10 January and 27 February of 1967. He describes the beginning of increased attacks by the North-Vietnamese army, beginning on 21 January 1967, which were repelled after one North-Vietnamese officer defected and informed U.S. forces of the planned attack. Fitch begins a description of life in Khe Sanh by describing an incident that occurred on 24 February 1967. An NVA attacking force of almost 4 to 1 ambushed both the first and second platoons stationed at Khe Sanh during a normal patrol. Either a miscommunication or a misinterpretation occurred, resulting in the second platoon straying far beyond their intended checkpoint position (checkpoint 2). The conflict ceased within a few hours, leaving 27 MIA and 27 WIA. Fitch continues his discussion by explaining the problems with attaining proper supplies for Khe Sanh. Supplies and building materials were requisitioned months prior to the increasing number of attacks in January. However, it was not until just before the 24 February attack, that Khe Sanh was given the necessary provisions. There were flaws in the design of the base itself. Both the northern and southern perimeters of the runway were too narrow, leaving a large unprotected area when aircraft landed and took-off. As a result, NVA anti-aircraft attacks had to be suppressed before and after any supply planes arrived. Fitch also describes his observations of NVA battle tactics, opium use by NVA soldiers, rumors of NVA forces attempting to dig underneath Khe Sanh, and the morale of U.S. forces in Khe Sanh.

A report submitted in publication form by Kenneth Cox, Public Safety Advisor to the United States Operations Mission (USOM). In October 1965, a sampan (boat) purportedly carrying a metal-working lathe, heading down the Saigon River, was stopped at a checkpoint in Phu Cuong. Ã The sampan was searched, and the lathe was found under a load of unpackaged fertilizer. Ã The Chief of Police at Phu Cuong indicated that the lathe could potentially be used to manufacture weapons, and that two Viet Cong agents had taken possession of the sampan earlier that year. Ã The two Viet Cong agents were manning the boat, and were arrested upon discovery of the hidden lathe.

Visit to Di Linh, South Vietnam, November 1971. Final checkpoint outside Saigon on the Bien Hoa highway. There are many of these along the road. At each, most passengers - and all males- unload and walk through the checkpoint- the bus is searched - then reloads. I had to make this check- the only one- but it is not normally required of Westerners.
