Raw Footage: Vietnam, 1968: Tet Offensive and Siege at Khe Sanh

In 1968, US forces in Vietnam were faced with their biggest battles yet: On January 31,1968, Viet Cong and NVA forces violated the Tet cease-fire and launched the Tet Offensive all across South Vietnam. US Army and Marines plus ARVN units, fought 80,000 enemy in bloody battles as they attacked over 100 cities including every provincial capital, and Saigon itself. US and ARVN forces repelled the More.. communists in weeks, after inflicting very heavy losses on VC/NVA forces. Simultaneously the NVA surrounded the US Marine base and airfield at Khe Sanh. NVA artillery, rockets, and mortar fire were placed on Khe Sanh with the intention of inflicting another Dien Bien Phu on the Americans. Instead President Johnson ordered "Operation Niagara", one of the heaviest air bombing campaigns in history, in order to destroy the enemy and keep the base in American hands.

Battlefield Vietnam: Ep 1

The Vietnam War, also known as the Second Indochina War, or the Vietnam Conflict, occurred in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia from 1959 to April 30, 1975. The war was fought between the communist North Vietnam, supported by its communist allies, and the government of South Vietnam, supported by the United States and other member nations of the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO). The Vietcong, the lightly armed South Vietnamese communist insurgency, largely fought a guerrilla war against anti-communist forces in the region. The North Vietnamese Army engaged in a more conventional war, at times committing large-sized units into battle. U.S. and South Vietnamese forces relied on air superiority and overwhelming firepower to conduct search-and-destroy operations, involving ground forces, artillery and air strikes. The United States entered the war to prevent a communist takeover of South Vietnam as part of a wider strategy called containment. Military advisors arrived beginning in 1950. U.S. involvement escalated in the early 1960s and combat units were deployed beginning in 1965. Involvement peaked in 1968 at the time of the Tet Offensive. Under a policy called Vietnamization, U.S. forces withdrew as South Vietnamese troops were trained and armed. Despite a peace treaty signed by all parties in January 1973, fighting continued. In response to the anti-war movement, the U.S. Congress passed the Case-Church Amendment in June 1973 prohibiting further U.S. military intervention. In April 1975, North Vietnam captured Saigon. North and South Vietnam were reunified the following year. Battlefield Vietnam explores some of the most important battles fought during the Vietnam War. There are detailed battlefield descriptions and graphics, accompanied by actual combat footage. The narrator speaks throughout the series, without interviews of actual battle veterans. Detailed analysis of the battle including leaders, commanders, soldiers and weapons is presented. Events preceding the featured battle are included, as well as some aftermath details.
