[A Shau Camp, A Shau Valley, Thura Thien Province, Vietnam]: [Side A] [HIS] [CSL]:
The CDIG A Shau Camp was the last remaining presence of South Vietnamese forces in the A Shau Valley, all the other had been either overrun by the Viet Cong or abandoned.
Engagements with Viet Cong and North Vietnamese regulars were frequent as patrols from the camp were out searching targets along the infiltration route from Laos. The camp was out of artillery range and needed to be resupplied by air, leaving the camp at the mercy of the notoriously bad weather in the A Shau Valley.
On March 9th, elements of the 95B NVA Infantry Regiment started their main assault against the defenders. A Special Forces A-Team, 180 CDIG personnel and recently added MIKE Company was all that stood before the assaulting NVA.
Varying attacks happened through the day and night, the final assault coming on March 10th, leaving the decision to continue the fight or abandon the camp.
