The NVA hoped to capture Khe Sanh which would have been a major asset to the North for having unbridled access to their logistical lifeline known as the Ho Chi Minh Trail .

Over-running the Khe Sanh base would have been a major morale booster to the North reminiscent of their victory over the French at Dien Bien Phu (13 March - 7 May 1954) . It would have been a psychological blow to American resolve to continue the war and would have fed the protest movement at home .
