The air campaign against North Vietnam marked a pivotal moment in military aviation, showcasing the first integrated air defense system featuring radar-controlled guns and surface-to-air missiles. Initially challenged by these defenses, the U.S. Air Force eventually succeeded through advanced electronic countermeasures such as jamming and Wild Weasel operations. Notably, during Linebacker II, B-52s effectively overcame the sophisticated Soviet-supplied defenses, achieving a lower kill rate than those seen in World War II, and setting the stage for future USAF tactics in neutralizing enemy defenses.

The intense battle for Khe Sanh in 1968 saw 6,000 U.S. Marines and South Vietnamese Rangers face off against a significantly larger North Vietnamese force. Over 70 days, the defenders, entrenched around the airstrip, were pressured by continuous assaults. Initially, the deployment aimed to intercept Communist movements along Highway 9. However, upon discovering the buildup of enemy troops, Gen. William C. Westmoreland ordered the Marines to maintain their position, leading to a critical and prolonged confrontation in the Vietnam War.
