The objective was a sweep of the North Vietnam- ese Army (NVA)-dominated A Shau Valley by the 9th Marine Regiment reinforced by elements of the 3rd Marine Regiment to interdict the flow of supplies from the Ho Chi Minh Trail into the area. As the 9th Marines moved towards the A Shau valley, they established numerous firebases along the way which would provide them their ar- tillery support once they entered the valley and guard their MSR (Main Supply Route.) All of these bases needed to be resupplied by helicop- ter because of their distance from the main com- bat bases and because resupply via ground was very difficult during monsoon season. The Marines encountered stiff resistance through- out the conduct of the operation, most of which was fought under triple canopy jungle and within range of NVA artillery based in Laos. Marine cas- ualties were 130 KIAs & 932 WIAs. The Marines killed 1,617 NVA troops and captured over 500 tons of arms and munitions while denying the val- ley as an NVA staging area for the duration of the operation.
