 | | The gem of American military superiority in Vietnam was the strategic Marine Corps base a Khe Sanh.
Located a few miles from the borders of North Vietnam and Laos, Khe Sanh was heavily fortified in
late '67 by Gen. William Westmoreland, and designed to carry out reconnaissance attacks on the
Ho Chi Minh trail and enemy supply lines from the north.
The Battle of Khe Sanh began at 0530, 21 January 1968. The North Vietnamese Army forces hammered
the Marine-occupied Khe Sanh Combat Base with rocket, mortar, artillery, small arms, and automatic
weapons fire. Hundreds of 82-mm. mortar rounds and 122-mm. rockets slammed into the combat base.
Virtually all of the base's ammunition stock and a substantial portion of the fuel supplies were
destroyed. The actions around Khe Sanh Combat Base, when flashed to the world, touched off a
political and public uproar as to whether or not the position should be held.
