<entity_1> was a military operation in the <entity_5>, launched by units of the U.S. 1st Marine Division to rescue two Marine companies which had been ambushed by the People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN). The operation took place in the <entity_2>, beginning on <entity_0>. During the <entity_5> it lay in the southern part of <entity_4>'s I Corps. <entity_1>, intended to be the fourth and the last of the 1967 operations in the <entity_2>, began unofficially on the morning of <entity_0> when Company D, 1st Battalion, 5th Marines was attacked before dawn by a superior PAVN force while in a night defensive perimeter next to the village of Dong Son. The operation concluded on <entity_3>, by which time the PAVN 2nd Division and VC 1st Regiment had largely given up contesting the southern half of the <entity_2>. As <entity_1> concluded large U.S. Army units arrived in southern I Corps, allowing the 1st Marine Division to base a substantial force in the <entity_2> on a permanent basis.
