The first major battle in the war took place in the Ia Drang Valley, memorialized in Hal Moore's Book "We Were Soldiers - and Young." It was the first significant use of helicopter warfare tactics against North Vietnamese Army Regulars. It proved the battlefield superiority of helicopters in combat.
Secondly, the January 30, 1968 TET (Chinese New Year) offensive proved a major battle. Although the attempt to cause a major uprising among the people throughout South Vietnam failed, and the U.S. Military forces stopped the North Vietnamese campaign, American News Media portrayed the conflict as a 'proof that America was losing the war.'
Between December, 1967 and April, 1968, the North Vietnamese seige of the Marine Corps combat base at Khe Sanh proved to be another major conflict. The dug-in North Vietnamese insurgents were routed 5-7 April 1968 by the U.S. First Cavalry Division to end the siege.
