The city of Hu\u1ebf mattered to all the combatant forces. The city and its people paid the price. Interviews with noted subject matter experts Drs. Pierre Asselin, Gregory Daddis, James Willbanks, and Cpt. Wyatt Harper are augmented with archival audio and film, and detailed maps. This documentary places the Battle of Hu\u1ebf within the context of Hanoi\u2019s 1968 Tet Offensive. How North Vietnam, South Vietnam, and the United States perceived the Vietnam War in 1967 and 1968 are central to this documentary. Covered are the key moments of the battle \u2014 including the People&#8217;s Armed Forces of Vietnam (PAVN) and People&#8217;s Liberation Armed Forces (PLAF) planning and assault on Hue. The responses of the Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN), Vietnam Marine Corps (VNMC), the United States Marine Corps (USMC), and the U.S. Army (USA) are addressed to offer insight into an informative example of urban warfare.<\/p>\n<p>0:02:39 \u2013 Why the Tet Offensive<br \/>\n0:10:53 \u2013 Why Hu\u1ebf<br \/>\n0:15:53 \u2013 Military Decision Making Process | Doctrine<br \/>\n0:26:51 \u2013 Warfighting Function | Doctrine<br \/>\n0:27:59 \u2013 Paralysis by analysis | Doctrine<br \/>\n0:33:15 \u2013 Courses of action | Doctrine<br \/>\n0:38:22 \u2013 Weather and operations | Doctrine<br \/>\n0:40:52 \u2013 Hu\u1ebf Massacre<br \/>\n0:41:18 \u2013 My Lai<br \/>\n0:46:05 \u2013 Hu\u1ebf and Modern Warfare<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Army University Press Published 22 Nov 2024 The Battle of Hu\u1ebf is known for urban combat, destruction, and anguish.
