From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The May Tao Secret Zone was located in the
Mây Tào Mountains of
South Vietnam, a heavily forested area located at the intersection of
Long Khánh,
Phước Tuy and
Bình Tuy Provinces, that served as a
Viet Cong (VC) divisional sanctuary. The zone was the location of the headquarters for the VC
5th Division and
275th Regiment.
It was the site of numerous U.S, and Australia and New Zealand military operations during the
Vietnam War.
