They were evacuated to a special forces camp in Danang and flown to Saigon in good health. The operation, led by Maj Xieu and supported by US pilots, followed a three day lull in fighting with Communist guerrillas as intelligence noted extensive Chinese Communist training of North Vietnamese forces.
