AREA INFORMATION:

Cheo Reo BorderingDarlac Province and to the North of Saigon Cheo Reo was an important strategictown for the early US Military and CIA operatives working in Vietnam.

The CIA were operating reconnaissance flights overthis area as early as the mid 1950\'s in preparation of building a camp there.

A meeting point for many of the MontangardTribes, Cheo Reo saw regular movement of Tribal people from Viet Congcontrolled areas, providing valuable information and the means of insertingagents into their home areas.

A US Special Forces Base camp was set up inCheo Reo, designated Detachment A-6 (and later A-424) as early as 1961 (andprobably before) and the US Special Forces from Cheo Reo directed theoperations of numerous Mike Force units in the area.

Shortly after the 5th Special ForcesDetachment removed themselves from Cheo Reo in 1971 (and the camp was handedover to the ARVN Tiger Force Rangers) the area was lost to the North Vietnamesealthough the camp remained open until mid 1973.
