Lessons Learned, Headquarters, 1st Infantry Division
Abstract
The 1st Infantry Division, during this period, continued the combined offensive Operation TOAN THANG (Complete Victory) with increased pressure being maintained on VC/NVA efforts to reorganize and resupply in base camps along the periphery of the 1st Infantry Division Tactical Area of Interest (TAOI) in northeast and northwest Binh Duong Province. Extensive land clearing was accomplished, primarily along the Binh Duong and Binh Long Province boundary into the Michelin Rubber Plantation and along Highway 16 north of Tan Uyen. Route security operations continued along Highway 13 to QUAN LOI with daily convoy traffic maintained. Overwatch of US Special Forces activities, Vietnamese Governmental installations, and ARVN activities in the Division's TAOI continues. Base Camp activities continued at the four division base camps located at DI AN, PHU LOI, LAI KHE and QUAN LOI. Base camps were subjected to VC/NVA attacks by fire to a lesser degree than during the previous reporting period with LAI KHE being the most frequently targeted base camp. On 12 June, the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment (minus one squadron) became OPCON to the division and remains in that status at the close of this reporting period.
