This report provides a detailed and graphic account of events as they unfolded.

Yet the battle of Khe Sanh was an inter-Service and international operation. Consequently, appropriate coverage was given to the contributions of the U.S. Army, Navy, and Air Force, and to South Vietnamese regular and irregular military united, all of whom contributed to the defense of the area and to the destruction of the enemy.
