"The ten-day sweep," reported the AP from its daily military roundup from Saigon, "proved unproductive." BackgroundFor the USMC, the operation was notable for the following reasons: it was a sizable, combined USMC and Vietnamese Marine amphibious operation and it was the last Special Landing Force (SLF) amphibious landing to take place beyond the boundaries of I Corps.[1] An SLF was the designation of the Marine battalion and medium helicopter squadron (HMM) assigned to the Seventh Fleet Amphibious Ready Group. The SLF regularly conducted amphibious operations across Vietnamese beaches into areas of suspected Viet Cong and People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN) activity.[2] The intent of the operation was to secure ammunition dumps, ordnance and engineering workshops, hospitals, and indoctrination centers.[3] OperationAfter 2 days of postponement due to bad weather, the operation began on 6 January with a sea and heliborne assault onto the beaches between the Co Chien and Ham Luong branches of the Mekong Delta which was suspected of being a Viet Cong stronghold.[1] Supporting units
AftermathThe operation was a disappointment resulting in only 21 Vietcong killed, 2 small arms workshops destroyed and 44 weapons captured for the loss of 7 US and 1 Vietnamese Marines. It was believed that the Vietcong had been forewarned of the attack because intelligence learned that larger Vietcong units had recently left the area.[1] References1. ^1 2 {{cite book|last=Telfer|first=Gary|title=U.S. Marines in Vietnam: Fighting the North Vietnamese 1967|publisher=History and Museums Division, Headquarters, U.S. Marine Corps|year=1984|isbn=978-1494285449|page=151}} {{Marine Corps}}2. ^{{cite web | last = | first = | authorlink = | coauthors = | title = Glossary of Terms | work = | publisher = USMC/Combat Helicopter Association | date = | url = http://www.popasmoke.com/glossary.html | accessdate = }} 3. ^{{cite book|last=Willbanks|first=James H.|title=Vietnam War Almanac|publisher=Checkmark Books|year=2010|isbn=978-0-8160-8248-3}} 4. ^http://www.history.navy.mil/photos/images/h98000/h98396.jpg External links
