The 4th Infantry Division
deployed from Fort Lewis to Camp Holloway, Pleiku, Vietnam on 25
September 1966 and served more than four years, returning to Fort
Carson, Colorado on 8 December 1970. Two brigades operated in the
Central Highlands/II Corps Zone, but its 3rd Brigade, including the
division's armor battalion, was sent to Tay Ninh Province northwest of
Saigon to take part in Operation Attleboro (September to November 1966),
and later Operation Junction City (February to May 1967), both in War
Zone C. After nearly a year of combat, the 3rd Brigade's battalions
officially became part of the 25th Infantry Division in exchange for the
battalions of the 25th's 3rd Brigade, then in Quang Ngai Province as
part of the division-sized Task Force Oregon. Throughout its service in
Vietnam the division conducted combat operations in the western Central
Highlands along the border between Cambodia and Vietnam. The division
experienced intense combat against NVA regular forces in the mountains
surrounding Kontum in the autumn of 1967. The division's 3rd Brigade was
withdrawn from Vietnam in April 1970 and deactivated at Fort Lewis. In
May the remainder of the division conducted cross-border operations
during the Cambodian Incursion. The "Ivy Division" returned from Vietnam
on 7 December 1970, and was rejoined in Fort Carson by its former 3rd
Brigade from Hawaii, where it had re-deployed as part of the withdrawal
of the 25th Infantry Division. One battalion remained in Vietnam as a
separate organization until January 1972.
