This map
clearly shows the Nha Trang Valley running from the western mountains
to the South China Sea. Due to the valley's strategic value as an infiltration route for enemy
units, an outpost, My Loc, was located west
of A-502's main base which occupied the southern portion of an old French
Fort near the Vietnamese village
of Dien Khanh. My Loc, which had originally been constructed by the
team's South Korean allies, was
affectionately known as "The Rock Pile."
My Loc and A-502's other outposts and its main base at Camp Trung Dung can be seen on the TD & Outposts map page. |
