Lang Vei Outpost Falls In Defense By Green Berets
Upland air cavalrymen moved into the Lang Vei outpost west of Khe Sanh and found a graveyard of unburied bodies after the February 7 battle. Green Berets and local irregulars held the camp, with many killed or wounded. North Vietnamese armor appeared for the first time in the assault, while stocks of captured weapons remained behind. The episode foreshadowed diplomatic contacts between the United States and North Vietnam as Johnson pressed for negotiations and a potential bombing halt.
