During the early morning hours of 31 Jan 1968, Bi?n H?a Air Base, South Vietnam, was assaulted by two North Vietnamese battalions, and the 274th Viet Cong Regiment's eight companies of about 500-600 men, supported by sappers and a barrage of mortars and 122mm rocket fire. Although the Air Base's ten miles perimeter was breached in four places, the 3rd Security Police Squadron's 325 USAF Security Police, and 75 Airmen Augmentees, repelled an overall force of 1400-1500 NVA and VC [during a nine (9) hours battle], and defended the interior of the Base from ground attack until US Army Infantry reinforcements arrived at sun-up. More than 60 NVA and VC bodies, of the 160 KIA, and 25 captured on base, were found in the fields of fire of Bunker Hill-10.
