The Koreans were allies to the United States and South Vietnamese during the Vietnam War. Part of the White Horse Division originally occupied a small hill near My Loc village, which can be seen in the lower left quadrant of the map above. When the Koreans left My Loc and moved north of the Song Cai River, A-502 created an outpost at the location. The new Korean base camp was situated much higher than My Loc, sitting on a portion of a small mountain, Thon Dai Mountain, rather than a small hill. Over looking the Song Cai River, the Koreans now had a more commanding view of the Nha Trang Valley from which they could observe any significant enemy movement. Since they had their own artillery batteries, they would be able to fire on targets of opportunity. The Koreans were also in a position to provide direct fire support for both My Loc and Camp Trung Dung in the event either came under attack. Camp Trung Dung, labeled "TD" is in the purple area near the right-center of the map. |
