These innovative tactics were put to the test for the first time in the Battle of Ia Drang. In the bloody struggle that followed, both sides would ultimately achieve a form of victory: while the Americans accomplished most of their objectives, the battle revealed vulnerabilities in their air mobility tactics, which their tenacious enemies were quick to exploit. In this video, we will look at how the Battle of Ia Drang set the stage for the bloodbath that was The Vietnam War.\n
