In an attempt to stop incursions by the NVA 1st and 10th Divisions, the American 4th Division was placed next to the Cambodian border. A skirmish revealed the presence of enemy forces near Duc Co. The recently mechanized Company D 2nd Battalion 8th Infantry lined up in the darkness for a charge against the enemy, supported by two tanks of B Troop, 10th Cavalry. At the same time, the 95th B NVA Regiment had prepared some strong defenses.
