Helicopters flown by the RAN Helicopter Flight operated from an advanced landing zone at Chau Lang, in Chau Doc Province, to strike at strong Viet Cong forces. The landing zone was under fire throughout the operation, and all helicopters reported hits from intense enemy machine-gun and small arms fire. The operation caused the Viet Cong heavy casualties and some 50 bodies were counted.
