　　On April 10, 1970, Hill 927 was occupied by troopers of the

Screaming Eagles of the 101st Airborne Division. By July, the

activities of the artillery and infantry of Ripcord had caught the

attention of the NVA (North Vietnamese Army) and a long and deadly

siege ensued. Ripcord was the Screaming Eagles’ last chance to do

significant damage to the NVA in the A Shau Valley before the

division was withdrawn from Vietnam and returned to the United

States.

At Ripcord, the enemy counterattacked with ferocity, using mortar

and antiaircraft fire to inflict heavy causalities on the units

operating there. The battle lasted four and a half months and

exemplified the ultimate frustration of the Vietnam War: the

inability of the American military to bring to bear its enormous

resources to win on the battlefield. In the end, the 101st

evacuated Ripcord, leaving the NVA in control of the battlefield.

Contrary to the mantra “We won every battle but lost the war,” the

United States was defeated at Ripcord. Now, at last, the full story

of this terrible battle can be told.
