Lessons Learned, Headquarters, 1st Air Cavalry Division

Abstract

This reporting period covers the conclusion of the completely air supported Operation Delaware/Lam Son 216 in the A Shau Valley and the initiation of current offensive operations being conducted in Operation Jeb Stuart III. In each of these operations, although the mission and terrain varied greatly, the applied tactics, concepts and doctrine of the 1 ACD again proved successful. Operation Delaware/Lam Son 216, a reconnaissance in force operation, proved to the enemy that he has no 'safe havens' in South Vietnam. The massive air assault into the A Shau Valley, despite modern anti-aircraft defenses, proved once again that the 1st Air Cavalry Division can deploy major forces in critical enemy areas entirely supported by aerial resupply and evacuation.
