The first true battle of the Vietnam War was Ap Bac. Considered small-scale action, Ap Bac was fought on January 2, 1963, in the hamlet (ap in Vietnamese) of Bac. 350 entrenched Viet Cong guerrillas faced off against 1,400 members of the 7th Division of the ARVN. The Viet Cong won, suffering 18 dead and 39 wounded, with the ARVN suffering 83 dead, and 108 wounded.
