Thua Thien Province


I was assigned to Hué with a primary area of operations in Thua Thien province.   Our team also was responsible for Quang Tri province, the northern most in South VIetnam.   We had a small detachment flying O-1s from La Vang airfield at Quang Tri, but we often supplemented them during periods of high activity.

Our area of operations included the A Shau Valley (Thua Thien), and Khe Sanh and up to the Demilitarized Zone (Quang Tri Province), all sites of major fighting.
