Michelin Rubber Plantation

It was located near Dầu Tiếng District in Bình Dương Province, 72 km northwest of Saigon.

Michelin established Dau Tieng Rubber Company in 1917, according to Binh Duong News.

[2] The plantation was located approximately halfway between the Cambodian border and Saigon and so was an important base and staging area for the Viet Cong (VC) and later the PAVN.

US forces were obliged to compensate Michelin for damage caused to the rubber trees during operations in the plantation.

[7] In 2010, a village was recreated inside a plantation in Dinh Hiep Commune, Dau Tieng District.

Men of "B" Company, 1st Battalion, 5th (Mechanized) Infantry, 25th Infantry Division set fire to a Vietcong hut during a search and destroy mission in the Michelin Rubber Plantation, 8 April 1966
