| Located on the western coast of South Vietnam’s Mekong Delta
region, the Advanced Tactical Support Base at Song Ong Doc served for a short time during the Vietnam War as an operational base
for the U.S. and Vietnamese river forces. During 1970 allied naval units patrolled the
area’s numerous waterways as part of the Sea Lords strategy to interdict the Viet
Cong supply lines and troop movements. As part of the Vietnamization program, the Song Ong
Doc facility was completely turned over to the Vietnamese. ABM |
