Operation Diamond Arrow
Operation Diamond Arrow was a hard-fought battle in far southern Laos, waged from 20 September 1969 through 9 March 1970. The struggle centered on a Royal Lao Army stronghold at the strategic road intersection of Routes 16 and 23. Due to intervention by U.S. and Lao tactical air strikes, and an air bridge supply effort, the Royal Lao Government troops survived besiegement in a fixed defensive position, only to abandon their position post-battle.
==Overview==
Located in the southern panhandle of the territory of the Kingdom of Laos, the Ho Chi Minh Trail was the backbone of the communist forces during the Second Indochina War, as it was the main conduit for military supplies shipped to the Viet Cong's southern insurrection. During 1969, there were a number of military operations waged against the Trail in southern Laos, including some interdiction missions such as Operation Maeng Da, Operation Honorable Dragon, and Operation Junction City Jr., that originated in Laos.〔Nalty, p. 117.〕 Road intersections, such as the junction of Lao Routes 16 and 23 (since renumbered as Route 20), were prime objectives for both sides.〔(''Google maps Thailand/Laos/Vietnam.'' ) Retrieved: 16 January 2015.〕
