Operation Dewey Canyon II

Operation Dewey Canyon II was a military mission conducted by U.S. and South Vietnamese forces from March to April 1971 during the Vietnam War. It aimed to gather intelligence, target North Vietnamese supply routes, and weaken their influence in eastern Laos and southern Vietnam. The operation involved reconnaissance, attacks on enemy supply trails, and efforts to disrupt their logistical network. It was part of broader efforts to degrade North Vietnamese capabilities and support negotiations for peace. The operation resulted in significant disruption of enemy operations but also faced challenges due to difficult terrain and determined resistance.
