On 16 May 1968 People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN) forces attacked an 11-man Long-range reconnaissance patrol observation post approximately 1 km from Brillo Pad.

Three U.S. soldiers were killed, including Sergeant Anund C. Roark who would be posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions.

On the same day a 122mm rocket killed one U.S. soldier at Brillo Pad.

Starting on 26 May 1968 the base was hit by PAVN mortar and rocket fire over a four-day period[2] killing 12 U.S. and wounded 41, this was followed by a ground assault, resulting in 41 PAVN killed.
