Name: "Special Forces: Untold Stories | U.S. Green Berets - The Battle of Lang Vei"
Description: Green Berets in Vietnam. The Battle of Lang Vei was a battle of the Vietnam War fought on the night of 6 February 1968, between elements of the People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN) and the United States-led Detachment A-101, 5th Special Forces Group.
Lang Vei was an American Special Forces camp, located approximately 7 km (4.5 mi) west of the Khe Sanh Combat Base in Quang Tri Province, in the northwestern corner of the Republic of Vietnam (RVN or South Vietnam), near its borders with the DRV and the Kingdom of Laos. The camp was constructed in 1967 for operations of the Civilian Irregular Defense Groups (CIDG) along the Laotian frontier. It was overwhelmed by North Vietnamese forces on 7 February 1968.
On January 31, 1968, the North Vietnamese Army launches shock attacks on several key cities and provinces in South Vietnam. Within 24 hours, the US embassy in Saigon falls to enemy invaders. Caught in the crosshairs of the invasion is Lang Vei, a small Special Forces camp, located a half mile from the enemy border. The 24 Green Berets stationed at Lang Vei act as "force multipliers" - their mission is to train allied indigenous troops and lead them on covert reconnaissance patrols. Operating deep within enemy territory, the risk of death or capture is extremely high.
The battle that follows at Lang Vei, is likened to the scene of Dante's Inferno. The courage of the Green Berets in holding their position under such extreme circumstances makes the Battle of Lang Vei the Special Forces' finest hour.
