Default Re: Historical Theatre of Operation: Locations

Trying to simplify things the best, there were 3 major theater of operations during Vietnam:

-The Demilitarized Zone and the northern provinces of Quang Tri (Khe Sanh, Rockpile, Con Thien) and Thua Thien (A Shau, Song Bo, Street without Joy, Hué)

-The Highlands (Pleiku and Kontum provinces mainly with such battlefields as the Ia Drang, Se Sanh, Nam Sathay and Plei Trap valleys and the Dak To area)

-The Saigon region (Iron Triangle, War Zones C and D, Rung Sat, Route 13...)

That's where most of the fighting occured. Three other areas saw prolonged confrontation too but were of slightly lesser importance:

-Southern I CTZ between Da Nang and Quang Ngai

-The Central Coast between Qui Nonh and Cam Ranh Bay

-The Mekong Delta (IV Corps)
