In AUGUST  the enemy launched a massive attack near Tay Ninh and Dan Tieng.  Beginning at Fire Support Base Buell II and Nui Ba Den, an estimated regimental size force tangled with Tropic Lightning soldiers during the last weeks of August and the first week of September.  In one week, over 900 enemy died, as many as 182 in an hour and a half when the 1st Battalion, 5th Infantry Bobcats counter-attacked in the Ben Cui Plantation.  Another highlight was an ambush patrol of the 2d Battalion, 27th Infantry accounting for over 100 enemy near Tay Ninh. Major General Ellis W. Williamson replaced Major General F. K. Mearns as Tropic Lightning commander.
