Task Force Barker was the name given to the major offensive operation designed to close with the enemy in hamlets designated as My Lai 1, 2, 3, and 4, and wipe them out for good, per Colonel Oran K. Henderson.

Lieutenant Colonel Frank A. Barker ordered the 1st Battalion commanders to burn the houses, kill the livestock, destroy foodstuffs, and perhaps to close the wells. The My Lai massacre subsequently ensued.
