Firebase Atkinson

Firebase Atkinson is a former U.S. Army firebase northwest of Tây Ninh in southwest Vietnam.

The firebase was first established in March 1970 by the 7th Cavalry Regiment, 7 km northwest of Đồng Xoài.

At approximately midnight the People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN) 95C Regiment hit the base with mortar, rocket and recoilless rifle fire and then attacked the base perimeter.

The PAVN attacks were beaten back by 02:00.

U.S. losses were 7 killed, while 66 PAVN dead were found around the base perimeter.
