Vietnam War/Counteroffensive Phase III Campaign (1967-68)/Operation Newton / Kentucky V
From Month/Year
November / 1967
To Month/Year
December / 1967

Description
November 28 to 25 December, 1st Battalion 4th Marines jumped off on Operation Newton/Kentucky V where they set up a defensive position north of the fire break between Con Thien and Go Linh and conducted company size combat patrols and other screening activities.

The main focus of the operation was the establishment of Strong Point A3 between Con Thien and Gio Linh. This was the last fire support base required by Operation Dye Marker. Dye Marker was a long term 3rd Marine Division objective that called for the creation of a barrier system to choke the infiltration of enemy forces across the DMZ. Many referred to this system as "McNamara's Wall."
