Operation Prairie was a U.S. military operation in Quảng Trị Province, South Vietnam that sought to eliminate People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN) forces south of the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). Over the course of late 1965 and early 1966 the Viet Cong (VC) and the PAVN intensified their military threat along the DMZ. The tactical goal of these incursions was to draw United States military forces away from cities and towns. Operation Hastings, a series of actions in defense of the DMZ, lasted from 15 July to 3 August 1966. It was considered a strategic success. Operation Prairie was conceived as a larger, longer mission covering the same areas along the DMZ.

  • La operazione Prairie fu una grande operazione di "individuazione e distruzione" (Search and Destroy) sferrata durante la Guerra del Vietnam dai Marines della III Marine Amphibious Force schierata nella Zona Smilitarizzata (DMZ) al confine con il Vietnam del Nord. Lo scopo dell'operazione (come del resto la precedente operazione Hastings) consisteva nel blocco dell'infiltrazione di unità nordvietnamite a sud del 17º parallelo e nella distruzione della Divisione nordvietnamita 324B, di cui era stata individuata la pericolosa presenza nel settore.
