A valuable addition to your collection of Vietnam war memorabilia items. The Battle of Khe Sanh was a significant and highly publicized battle during the Vietnam War. It took place in and around the Khe Sanh Combat Base, a U.S. Marine Corps outpost located in the northwest corner of South Vietnam, near the border with North Vietnam. The battle primarily occurred in 1968, though Khe Sanh was under siege and subjected to sporadic attacks for several months leading up to the more intense fighting in early 1968.Here are key points about the Battle of Khe Sanh in 1967 and 1968:Siege and Preparations: The North Vietnamese Army (NVA) began to lay siege to the Khe Sanh Combat Base in late 1967, surrounding it and cutting off overland supply routes. The U.S. and South Vietnamese forces recognized the vulnerability of the base and made preparations for the expected NVA assault.U.S. Marine Corps: The U.S. Marine Corps played a central role in the defense of Khe Sanh. They established strong defensive positions and airstrips for resupply and reinforcement. The Marines were supported by U.S. Army and South Vietnamese Army units.Aerial Resupply: Due to the siege and the difficulty of resupplying by land, the U.S. military relied heavily on a massive airlift operation to deliver supplies, ammunition, and reinforcements to Khe Sanh.Battle Begins: The most intense phase of the battle began in late January 1968, with a series of NVA attacks on the base. The fighting was brutal and included artillery barrages, infantry assaults, and heavy airstrikes by both sides.Tet Offensive: The Battle of Khe Sanh coincided with the larger Tet Offensive, a series of coordinated NVA and Viet Cong attacks throughout South Vietnam. The Tet Offensive marked a turning point in the Vietnam War and led to increased U.S. involvement.Defense and Relief: Despite the intensity of the battle, the U.S. and South Vietnamese forces successfully defended Khe Sanh. In April 1968, a U.S. Marine relief column reached the base overland, breaking the siege.Strategic Implications: Khe Sanh became a symbol of U.S. determination to hold territory in Vietnam. However, some debate has centered on the strategic significance of the battle, as some analysts believed that it diverted resources and attention from more critical areas.
