On the night of 22 February 1969 the People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN) attacked the camp which was defended by the 5th Special Forces Detachment A-102 and CIDG forces. The base was secured the following morning for a loss of 1 U.S. and 54 CIDG killed.〔 In 1970 the units based at Tiên Phước averaged 50 to 60 PAVN killed each month for a period of 2–3 months.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=THE LATTER YEARS: 1968-1971 )〕 In October 1970 the base was transferred to the Vietnamese Rangers.〔 In September 1972 Tiên Phước was attacked by a PAVN force numbering more than 1000 supported by tanks. The town and airfield were defended by more than 3000 ARVN troops. In May 1974 Tiên Phước was attacked again by the PAVN, reserve forces from the 2nd Division were moved from Quảng Ngãi to Tiên Phước which invited further PAVN attacks in Quảng Ngãi Province resulting in serious losses to both sides. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tiên Phước Camp」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
