The battle of Tra Binh Dong was between the South Koreans and North Vietnamese.

    The battle of Tra Binh Dong was between the South Koreans and North Vietnamese.

    Several counties supported the South Vietnamese government. The USA, Korea, and Australia provided the most foreign troops in combat.

    South Korea provided the 2nd largest force to support South Vietnam. Approximately 320,000 military personnel suffered 5099 KIA and 10,962 Wounded.

    The Republic of Korea, ROK (pronounced Rocks), recruited and trained independently and effectively. I am told that American commanders hoped for a 10 to 1 kill ration and some Korean units exceeded that goal with 25 to 1. They sometimes won battles outnumbered 4 to 1.

    Conclusion: I do not understand Asian battlefield techniques.

    I added some reference links:

    The Korean Movie Sunny (2008) is about the Vietnam experience and also the TV series Decendance of the Sun.
