Operation Quyet Thang 202
Operation Quyet Thang 202, also known as the Do Xa Campaign, was a military operation conducted by the South Vietnamese Army with US support. It took place in the province of Quang Ngai, South Vietnam, from April 27 to May 27, 1964, during the Vietnam War.
With the valley of Khe Nuoc Lah as the main target, Operation Quyet Thang 202 was initiated on April 27, 1964, Monday, when General Do Cao Tri sent three Rangers Battalions and the 50th Infantry Regiment into a Viet Cong sanctuary. After a week of fighting in the jungle, the South Vietnamese Army units had destroyed several communist camps, seizing a big amount of enemy weapons.
Operation Quyet Thang 202 finally ended on May 27, 1964, with heavy damages to the Viet Cong communication network which linked Do Xa with other communist-controlled provinces.
