Landing Zone Dot was a U.S. Army and Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) base located south of the Fishhook in Tây Ninh Province southern Vietnam.
The base was located approximately 7 km south of the Fishhook in Tây Ninh Province approximately 25 km east of Katum Camp.[1]
On 13 November 1968 the base was defended by the ARVN 36th Regiment supported by Battery D, 1st Battalion, 5th Artillery when it was attacked by a 1000-man People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN) force.[1] The attack was beaten back with support from aerial rocket artillery and artillery at nearby firebases.[1] PAVN losses were 287 killed, while ARVN losses were 4 killed and 23 wounded.[2]
The base has reverted to farmland.
