[Ap Tan Thuong, 3 km S of Mo Cay, South Vietnam]: [SIDE A / H2H] [HIS] [CSL]:

The Viet Cong were steadily growing in popularity in Mekong Delta, taking control over larger and larger areas. To combat this, the ARVN conducted battalion sized operations with the aim of clearing certain sectors of the delta.

In the summer of 1964, elements of the ARVN 10th Infantry Regiment performed search and destroy missions between the cities of Ben Tre and Mo Cay. The mission seemed to be going well, as the various companies were routing Local Force Guerillas and finding supply and rice caches. The relatively uneventful sweep was completed before nightfall and the ARVN companies loaded up on their transports to head back to Ben Tre.
