	The Summer Offensive
		The A Shau Valley from the air looks green and peaceful—but when you get closer you see the enemy‑built Route 548 and the artillery and bomb craters that pock the floor.
		The allied battalions were to block enemy escape routes into Laos along Highway 922 and to interdict the enemy-built Highway 548, which runs the length of the A Shau.
		Almost every man has had friends killed or wounded under the merciless fire of the NVA who are so securely sheltered in the bowels of the mountain.

	Fire Support Base Veghel
		FSB Whip and one other base had been constructed by the 326th Engineering Battalion (Airmobile) for this purpose but persistent bad weather prevented any large scale operations into the A Shau Valley.
		Their operations in the valley had inflicted heavy casualties on the enemy, and the capture of thousands of tons of food, weapons, vehicles and supplies deprived the enemy of badly needed resources.
		Contact with the enemy was frequent and the fighting was often fierce and close as the highly trained NVA regulars fought to hold their base areas and to protect their valuable caches of weapons and supplies.

	Fire Base Airborne
		FSB Airborne is located on the eastern lip of the A Shau Valley on the north end of a long ridge running parallel to the valley.
		The fire base is layed out in the shape of a shoe sole with a detached mortar position on the small knoll to the east.
		The vegetation in the immediate vicinity of the fire base was destroyed, but the rain forest is only two to three meters from the wire, partially thinned due to air strikes and artillery, but still very thick.
