dbo:abstract
  • Die Operation Dewey Canyon war die letzte große Offensive des United States Marine Corps während des Vietnamkriegs. Der Einsatz dauerte vom 22. Januar bis zum 18. März 1969. Ein großes Gebiet in der Region des A-Sầu-Tals, das fest in der Hand des Vietcong war, war Schauplatz der Kämpfe. Auf amerikanischer Seite waren das 9th Marine Regiment und Teile des 3rd Marine Regiment beteiligt. Nach 56 Tagen des Kampfes konnten die USA einen taktischen Sieg verzeichnen, aber es war ihnen nicht gelungen die Einfuhr von Männern und Waffen aus Nordvietnam in den Süden zu unterbinden. (de)

The 56 days of combat were a tactical success but did not stop the overall flow of North Vietnamese men and matériel into South Vietnam. The 9th Marine Regiment and attached units were awarded the Army Presidential Unit Citation for their actions in Operation Dewey Canyon. (en)
