(Previously a base of the French Foreign legion). AREA INFORMATION: Cheo Reo Bordering Darlac Province and to the North of Saigon Cheo Reo was an important strategic town for the early US Military and CIA operatives working in Vietnam. The CIA were operating reconnaissance flights over this area as early as the mid 1950's in preparation of building a camp there. A meeting point for many of the Montangard Tribes, Cheo Reo saw regular movement of Tribal people from Viet Cong controlled areas, providing valuable information and the means of inserting agents into their home areas. A US Special Forces Base camp was set up in Cheo Reo, designated Detachment A-6 (and later A-424) as early as 1961 (and probably before) and the US Special Forces from Cheo Reo directed the operations of numerous Mike Force units in the area. Shortly after the 5th Special Forces Detachment removed themselves from Cheo Reo in 1971 (and the camp was handed over to the ARVN Tiger Force Rangers) the area was lost to the North Vietnamese although the camp remained open until mid 1973.
