LtGen “Lew” Walt presided over the essential expansion of the Marine Corps effort during the Vietnam War. When he arrived in June 1965, the III Marine Amphibious Force (III MAF) amounted to a collection of battalions posted to a few key points in I-Corps, the tactical zone composed of South Vietnam’s five northernmost provinces. When General Walt left, replaced by LtGen Robert Cushman in June 1967, III MAF was a full corps with both the 1st & 3rd Marine Divisions, the Army’s Americal Division, and the 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, a reinforced air wing fielding more than 500 aircraft and helicopters plus a host of supporting units. General Walt’s forces were engaged everywhere from the coastal zone below the Central Highlands to a stretch of Route 1 the French had named “the Street Without Joy” to the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) separating the two Vietnams.                         

Phase III of the Tet Offensive of 1968 (also known as the August offensive) was launched by the North Vietnamese Army (NVA) and Viet Cong (VC) on 22 August in I-Corps
On the night of 22–23 August NVA and VC units attacked 36 bases, towns and cities across I Corps mainly with rocket and mortar fire. A VC sapper attack on Landing Zone Bowman in the Que Son Valley. In Da Nang, an enemy company from the R20 Battalion (Bn) with a sapper platoon infiltrated Forward Operating Base 4, attacking the compound just south of Marble Mountain Air Facility that contained a Military Assistance Command, Vietnam Group HQ, several Special Forces teams and a Mobile Strike Force Command (MIKE) Force company.
On 23 August, the VC V25 and T89 Bns tried to capture the Cẩm Lệ Bridge, just south of Da Nang Air Base to allow follow-on units to attack the city. A platoon of U.S. Marines from Company D, 1st Military Police Bn defended the bridge from their bunkers until they were relieved by the 1st Bn, 27th Marines and ARVN Rangers. North of the bridge, a company from the VC 402nd Sapper Bn tried to seize the Hòa Vang District but were held back by ARVN units until reinforced by Marines and Rangers. The 402nd Sappers fell back to the Cẩm Lệ Bridge, where they continued to fight for a further nine hours, but by late afternoon after air strikes and artillery fire they abandoned the position leaving 184 dead.
1st Marine Division commander MajGen Carl Youngdale ordered his units to block the retreat of the NVA from Da Nang with Operation Sussex Bay. At 08:15 on 29 August Company M, 3rd Bn, 7th Marines engaged a NVA force 4 km south of Hill 55. Company D 1st Bn, 1st Marines and Company G, 2nd Bn, 27th Marines supported by tanks arrived to support the 3/7 Marines killing 42 NVA.
By 1968 General Cushman had 81,000 Marines, 32,000 soldiers, 22,000 sailors, 7,000 airman and 6,000 Korean Marines. In 1970, the U.S. Marines turned over control of the five northernmost provinces in South Vietnam to the U.S. Army. The Marines had been responsible for this area since they first arrived in South Vietnam in 1965. After the departure of the 3rd Marine Division from Vietnam in late 1969, the 1st Marine Division was the only Marine division left operating in South Vietnam.
