Description
BAE is back building off of Ben Het 70 for its 8th year running these big August events. The team will jump back to the 173d with a bigger base camp, much like we’ve done in Gettysburg. Please note, while the venue is still TBA, we are planning for it to be in NY for 2025.
Event Background:
Late December 1970; this event will be covering the time building up to the first operation of 1971. While OPERATION GREENE LIGHTNING was in full swing in northern Binh Dinh Province, the 2d/503d and the 3d/503d Infantry along with “E” Troop, 17th Cavalry were lending assistance to TASK FORCE IVY in the vicinity of An Khe.

At the onset of the operation, it appeared that the enemy was content to remain in hiding and conduct isolated acts of terrorism directed primarily against the RF/PF locations. The joint efforts of the battalions markedly affected the amount of success enjoyed by the enemy. The units relentlessly pursued his elements, uncovered his way stations, destroyed his base camps, and engaged him in mortal combat wherever they found him.
