Historical Context Sidebar
The twisting rivers of Vietnam’s Mekong Delta were central to many military operations, often serving as both supply routes and battlegrounds. The curving bends provided cover for ambushes and made navigation hazardous. U.S. and PAVN forces frequently clashed along these routes, with mobile patrol boats and hidden bunkers turning each bend into a potential hotspot.
