The Battle of An Lao occurred after the Viet Cong captured the district headquarters of An Lao, Binh Dinh, about 300 miles from Saigon. The Viet Cong were successful in repeatedly beating back large numbers of counterattacking ARVN troops.
The strength of the Viet Cong attack in northern Binh Dinh Province indicated the changing tactics of the VC, who were prepared to switching from small-scale guerilla actions to mobile warfare.
