Bombers and Commandos Strive to Save Encircled Camp
American bombers swept in from across the country as allied commandos pressed to break the siege of Duc Lap Green Beret camp 130 miles northeast of Saigon. About 15 U.S. Special Forces and 49 South Vietnamese troops faced 1,000 to 3,000 North Vietnamese attackers. Heavy air power including B52s and helicopter gunships pounded routes and positions while 300 Vietnamese commandos and airlifted forces moved within three miles of the camp. Casualties mounted as fighting raged for more than 20 hours with the district headquarters near the siege heavily damaged and the assault ongoing.
