A group of American soldiers sit heavily armed in the rear of their truck as a convoy moves through a part of Saigon during the second Tet Offensive, May 5, 1968. After an early morning mortar barrage on the city, the Viet Cong moved in small sapper squads that attacked several installations. By nightfall the fighting had subsided somewhat.

The U.S. Army 1st Cavalry and Marine 3d Division, joined by South Vietnamese airborne and ranger units, begin Operation PEGASUS. Its objective is to reach and relieve the garrison at Khe Sanh, which has been under siege since January. Allied forces begin by clearing the primary road to Khe Sanh of enemy units, moving westward with ground and airmobile assaults. The Marines at Khe Sanh go on the offensive, breaking out from their positions on April 4. Khe Sanh is finally relieved on April 8 when the 2nd Battalion, 7th Calvary reaches the combat base. U.S. troops proceed to clear the surrounding area of enemy forces, and PEGASUS ends on April 15
