Opposed to them are some of the best troops Hanoi can put in the field: elements of the 304th, 308th, 312th and 320th NVA Divisions, recently reinforced by regiments from the 325th, which had been stationed in Laos.

Parts of the 304th Division were also pulling away from Khe Sanh, leaving perhaps only 7,000 of the estimated 30,000 Communist troops that once encircled the base.
