Ta Bat Airfield – Vietnam v1.0
The 5th Special Forces Group first established A Lưới Camp here in 1962 to monitor communist infiltration into the A Sầu Valley. The base and airfield (Ta Bat) was located along Route 548, 40 km southwest of Huế.
The base was abandoned in 1966 due to increased pressure from the People’s Army of Vietnam (PAVN) forces and the A Sầu Valley became a major PAVN base area supporting operations throughout the Central Highlands.
The base has been turned over to farmland and sits adjacent to the Ho Chi Minh Highway.
