Following the conclusion of Operation Tulsa, BG William E. DePuy kept Col. Sidney Berry's 1st Brigade in the field hoping to repeat the success of the Battle of Minh Thanh Road by establishing firebases in the area and then sending convoys along Highway 13 and the Minh Thanh Road to invite attack by the Viet Cong (VC).

With this cordon established, at 17:45 the target area was hit by over 2000 rounds of artillery fire and 70 air sorties.

[1]: 335–6 On 29 October BG DePuy assumed direct command of the operation and deployed his units to the southwest to search the probable escape routes, but they were unable to locate the VC.

BG DePuy considered it a limited success as the VC 9th Division generally avoided battle.
