AB - This article aims to identify the characteristics and significance of the large-scale military operations conducted by the Republic of Korea Forces in Vietnam. By focusing on the 1967 Oh Jac Kyo and Hong Gil-dong operations, this article reveals that the large-scale operations of the ROK forces were clearing operations, not U.S.-style search and destroy missions. As U.S. observers highly praised, the ROK forces achieved notable success in these operations, largely due to small-unit tactics such as reconnaissance and ambushes. This unique approach holds significant meaning in the ROK's conduct of the war, as it not only contributed to the strategic goal of pacification in the Vietnam War but also fulfilled the ROK forces' internal goal of achieving maximum results with minimal casualties.
