Description: Following the mysterious disappearance of a 400 man strong ARVN outpost near Bi Phu the men of Echo Company, 2/4 Marines were sent to investigate. Upon arriving it became clear that the South Vietnamese had more or less abandoned their post and as the marines moved in a significant number of these ARVN troops came forward and “surrendered” to their USMC allies.*

Suspicious of the South Vietnamese soldiers the marines marched them into the town church and took up positions in the village. Later that night they came under attack from a sizeable VC force.*
