Description: This was the first mobile guerrilla operation conducted in the Delta. The Special Forces A-430 Detachment led a Khmer Kamuchea Krom (KKK) Mike Force into the Seven Mountains area. There they linked up with local KKK VC leaders and convinced them to join the Special Forces as a permanent guerrilla force in that locale. The mobile guerrilla force was posted to Nui Cam to flush out noncooperative VC and to assist in more negotiations. BLACKJACK 41 WHITE was a continuation.
