During the Vietnam War, Can Tho, located in the Mekong Delta region of South Vietnam, was an important strategic and logistical center for both the United States and South Vietnamese forces. The period of 1970-1971 saw significant military activities and developments in and around Can Tho.

Can Tho served as the capital of the Can Tho Province and was a major hub for military operations in the Mekong Delta region. The city was home to various military installations, including an airfield and a riverine logistics support base. The U.S. military, particularly the Army and Navy, had a substantial presence in Can Tho during this time. The Army's 9th Infantry Division and the Navy's Riverine Forces operated in the region, conducting patrols, securing waterways, and engaging enemy forces.

The 9th Infantry Division, also known as the "Old Reliables," was responsible for conducting counterinsurgency operations in the Mekong Delta. Their mission included searching for and engaging Viet Cong and North Vietnamese forces, securing key infrastructure, and providing support to the South Vietnamese Army.

The Navy's Riverine Forces, including the River Patrol Force and the Mobile Riverine Force, operated on the complex network of waterways in the region. These forces patrolled rivers, conducted reconnaissance, and supported ground operations through fire support and transport capabilities. Can Tho itself was subject to occasional enemy attacks, including mortar and rocket fire. The city and its surrounding areas were challenging environments due to the dense vegetation, intricate canal systems, and the presence of enemy forces.

The U.S. and South Vietnamese forces in Can Tho worked to counter the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese forces through a combination of military operations, intelligence gathering, and civic action programs. These efforts aimed to disrupt enemy activities, win the support of the local population, and improve security and stability in the region.
