First Battle of Loc Ninh The first battle of Lộc Ninh was a battle during the Vietnam War that occurred between 29 October and 10 December 1967 , fought by the Việt Cộng and the Civilian Irregular Defense Group ( CIDG ) , and ended when Army of the Republic of Vietnam ( ARVN ) and United States forces came to the camp . On October 27 , a North Vietnamese regiment engaged the command post of a largely outnumbered ARVN battalion in Sông Bé in Phước Long Province , but were forced to retreat from well dug - in South Vietnamese defenses . Two days later , in the South Vietnamese - Cambodian border town of Lộc Ninh , a Việt Cộng force of uncertain numbers of the 273rd Division launched an offensive on the American camp at this town . Opposing them were members of the First Infantry Division composed of two combat battalions and a pair of field artillery batteries by the morning of October 30 . Several days later , two more American battalions entered the heat of battle at Lộc Ninh and eventually overwhelmed the NVA and VC . In spite of their rugged Soviet - manufactured equipment consisting of flamethrower s , heavy machine guns , and mortars , the Vietcong and North Vietnamese sustained heavy casualties in which hundreds of their men were killed . Although the communists claimed they had lost 852 casualties , most American commanders believed that the genuine numbers of communist casualties sustained were well over 1 , 000 dead or wounded . Either way , the first battle of Lộc Ninh resulted in perhaps the most lopsided – and clearly definable – U . S . victory of the Vietnam War .

Special Operations Craft – Riverine ( SOC - R ) Special Operations Craft - Riverine craft perform short - range insertion and extraction of special operations forces in river and near - shore environments . The SOC - R is designed to fit aboard C - 130 or larger military aircraft . Special Boat Teams ( SBT ) perform an insertion / extraction delivery system called MEATS . MEATS allows an Army CH - 47 D helicopter to carry a SOC - R rigged to the underbelly of the helicopter with slings . The Combatant - Craft Crewmen use a rope to get from the helicopter onto the craft for insertions , and a ladder dropped down from the helicopter to get off the SOC - R craft when extracted . Each craft is manned by a crew of four Special Warfare Combatant - craft Crewmen ( SWCC ) crew - members and can carry eight personnel . Members of Special Boat Team 22 ( SBT - 22 ) , based in Stennis , MS , who make up a tiny fraction of the total SWCCs , are the only ones who operate the SOC - R . These river crews conduct mainly clandestine combat missions , often operating at night with little or no air support . The SOC - R speed and tight turn radius are facilitated by the hull design . The slope of the SOC - R ' s V - shape belly essentially allows the boat to skate along the surface , with relatively little drag on the hull . Thanks to the waterjet propulsion , there is no hanging rudder or propeller blades to snag on submerged roots and rocks . The SOC - R ' s five weapon mounts provide a 360 - degree field of fire . The aft - mounted . 50 cal covers the boat crew as they leave the shore after an extraction .
