Khe Sanh had a very important strategic position in the war, so the US army set up Khe Sanh Combat Base (at Khe Sanh) with the expectation that it would prevent reinforcements from the North to the South of the People's Army of Vietnam and will cut the Ho Chi Minh Trail. Khe Sanh is located in a valley of red soil 400 m above sea level. In 1965-1966, the US Army and the Army of the Republic of Vietnam built Khe Sanh into the largest stronghold in the line of defense (National Road No 9 with many Army Bases: Con Thien, Doc Mieu, Dong Ha, Cam Lo, Camp Caroll, The Rockpile, Ta Con Airport, Lang Vei, …). This is also one of the three "God Eyes" (Khe Sanh, Lang Vei and Ta Con Airbase) of the McNamara Electronic Fence. At Khe Sanh, major battles took place during the Road 9 - Khe Sanh campaign in 1968, and the Road 9 - Southern Laos campaign in 1971.
