Outnumbered Green Berets Hold Positions Near Duc Lap Camp
Allied defenders at Duc Lap camp clung to position despite mass assault by about 3,000 North Vietnamese troops.

Farther east near Quang Ngai City and Da Nang area, Vietnamese actions and plan intel surfaced, indicating attempts to move troops into Da Nang were thwarted by intercepted prisoner information.
