The raid on Ban Naden of 9 January 1967 was the only successful rescue of prisoners of war during the Vietnam War, although no American prisoners were freed from the camp. The raid was improvised after local Central Intelligence Agency officers induced a Pathet Lao deserter to lead a rescue party back to the prison camp. At about 0400 hours on 9 January 1967, a raiding party of 10 Lao mercenaries led by Sergeant Te killed or dispersed the communist guard force, only to discover twice as many rescuees as they had counted upon.

  • The raid on Ban Naden of 9 January 1967 was the only successful rescue of prisoners of war during the Vietnam War, although no American prisoners were freed from the camp. The raid was improvised after local Central Intelligence Agency officers induced a Pathet Lao deserter to lead a rescue party back to the prison camp.

Some of the captives immediately returned to their local homes, while the others followed their rescuers to an impromptu pickup zone in the midst of the Ho Chi Minh Trail. Hastily summoned Air America helicopters retrieved the raiders and the remaining prisoners, one of whom was Phisit Intharathat. News of the raid was not released to the public or press. The operation is highly classified and used as an instructional case study in CIA training. (en)
