Vietnam War: Major Battles. This map shows the locations of major battles and other
actions during the Vietnam War (1957-1975), as well as major United States military
bases. The war was fought mainly in North and South Vietnam. Troops also battled in
Laos and Cambodia, and U.S. pilots flew missions from bases in Thailand. In the war,
U.S. and South Vietnamese forces fought against Communist-trained South
Vietnamese rebels and North Vietnamese troops.
Members of the 199th Infantry Brigade move through a leach infested irrigation canal
while participating in Operation Rang Dong near Cat Lai. Hours earlier the unit
landed in rice paddies as part of a huge helicopter assault force.
