10 May to 7 Jun 1969

Previous sweeps of the A Shau valley in Operation Delaware and Operation  Dewey Canyon were unable to keep the North Vietnamese Army from using this  corridor to transport men and materiel to and from Laos. Operation Apache  Snow was
directed to assault enemy formations and strongholds and block  fleeing enemy troops from escaping back into Laos. One of the most intense  military actions during this Operation was termed the battle of "Hamburger Hill". VC/NVA KIA 977; US
KIA 102.
