Duc Lap – US Special Forces – Combat Base / Camp.
Duc Lap Camp (also known as Duc Lap Special Forces Camp or Hill 722) was a U.S. Army, US Special Forces and Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) base southwest of Buôn Ma Thuột in the Central Highlands of Vietnam.
The 5th Special Forces Group Detachment A-239 first established a base here in October 1966.
The base was located 67 km southwest of Buôn Ma Thuột and approximately 14 km from the Cambodian border.
In August 1968, the base was manned by US Special Forces, 3 members of the 403rd Radio Research Special Operations Detachment, 11 ARVN special forces and over 600 CIDG troops.
From 23–25 August 1968 the NVA attempted to overrun the base.
The assault was defeated at a cost of 6 U.S., 1 ARVN, 37 CIDG, 20 civilians and over 303 NVA killed.
The 20th Special Operations Squadron used Duc Lap as a forward base for operations into Cambodia.
In October 1969 the NVA again besieged Duc Lap and Bu Prang Camp, with the siege only being broken by the ARVN in December.
In December 1970 the base was transferred to the Vietnamese Rangers.
