Lessons Learned, Headquarters, 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile)

Abstract

During the period 1 May - 31 July 1966, the 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile) operated over an area of about 170km by 170km in the Binh Dinh, Pleiku, Kontum, Darlac, and Phu Yen Provinces. Division operations extended from the South China Sea to the Cambodian Border along the axis of Highway 19, from north of Bong Son to Qui Nhon along the South China Sea Coast and from Dak To to Ban Me Thout along the Cambodian Border. Operations were characterized throughout by heavy reliance on airmobility. The Division base remained at Camp Radcliff, near An Khe throughout the period. During most of the period two brigades operated away from the Division Base, while the other brigade conducted offensive operations in the TACTICAL AREA OF RESPONSIBILITY (TAOR) and improved the security of the base.
