Operation TIGHT SQUEEZE
South Vietnam
Location, Trapezoid
Description: The 1st Inf Div began a concentrated approach against a VC district heavily occupied by enemy forces, to restrict the flow of supplies and forces through the Trapezoid and the Micheline Rubber Plantation and over the Tay Ninh and Saigon Rivers. The Big Red One used extensive ambushes, seals and rome plows to clear the land in the Trapezoid during the operation. Scattered contacts during the period showed that the enemy was reluctant to fight the 1st Inf Div. The following units participated: A/2/28th, A/1/28th, A&B/2/2 Inf, the 11th ACR and D/1/4th Cav.
The source for this information was Turner 1st Inf P:28 & 52
