The US Army encountered NVA regulars, in force, for the first time at the Ia Drang fight in '65 (see film; "We Were Soldiers..."). But US troops encountered them as early as '62 (see film; "Bright Shining Lie"). Out and out NVA invasions supported by their T54 tanks occurred during the 1972 Easter invasions, and the final NVA assault occurred in '75...it was their TANKS that crashed thru the south's capital's gates in 1975...not their infantrymen!
