Here is a historical look at the Battle of Khe Sanh that was
conducted in northwestern Quang Tri Province, Republic of
Vietnam (South Vietnam), in 1968 from January 21st to July
9th 1968 during the Vietnam War. The combatants were
elements of the U.S. III Marine Amphibious Force (III MAF),
elements of the South Vietnamese Army of the Republic of
Vietnam (ARVN) and two to three division-size elements of
the People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN - also referred to as the
North Vietnamese Army (NVA)). The American command in South
Vietnam gave the defense of the base the nickname Operation
Scotland, which was the most important battle victory of the
Vietnam War.
