Sixty years ago, during Hiep Duc - Dong Duong Operation, our forces, through a distinctive art of organising and employing combat units, dealt successive “critical, heavy” blows against the enemy’s elite formations operating in the adjacent zone between mountainous and coastal lowland areas of Military Region 5. The success of the Operation marked a new development in the overall strategic offensive posture and gave strong impetus to the movement among our armed forces and people to “seek out to fight American troops, seek out to destroy puppet troops”

Operation Hiep Duc – Dong Duong caused the initial destruction of the US and Saigon puppet forces in the contiguous area between the mountainous area and the coastal plain, expanding liberated zones and creating developments in our strategic offensive posture in the Southern Battlefield. The success of this operation provided us many invaluable lessons, especially in the art of strongpoint encirclement, reinforcement ambush that needs to be study further and employed in potential future defensive war to protect the Motherland.
