Ocean View, Viet Nam
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ocean View, was the northern most U.S. military outpost in South Vietnam during that country's existence. The primary reason for its existence was an attempt to prevent infiltration of troops through the demilitarized zone and North Vietnam into I Corps and South Vietnam.
The position had an excellent view of infiltrators running the white sand gauntlet about 2.5 miles to the West.
That it was somewhat successful was demonstrated by the North Vietnamese armed force attempting to over-run the position at least twice: once around September 17, 1968 and on February 22, 1969.
