As per General Cogny's Directive 739 on 30 November 1953, the Colonial Parachute battalions (BPCs) were to begin their sorties outward from Dien Bien Phu to secure the outlying villages. Major Souquet's 1st BPC took the lead patrol on Route 41 to clear the road. A bare 3 miles northeast of the center of Dien Bien Phu itself, the road twisted through a narrow valley overshadowed between two hills that led to the T'ai tribal village called Ban Him Lam. Major Souquet was to push forward to the village and did not expect any enemy force to be operating that close to home.
