Incursion into the Fish Hook Area. On 27 April, the 1st Cavalry Division was given the mission of planning and executing a campaign to eliminate the North Vietnamese base areas in the Fish Hook region of Cambodia.
The maneuver plan was simple and direct. The Vietnamese 1st Airborne Division's 3rd Brigade would occupy blocking positions north of the objective area, and elements of the 1st Cavalry Division and the 11th ACR would make a four-pronged attack from the south. Artillery would be provided from all the elements involved in the attack, and additional fire support would come from II Field Force Artillery units. The fire support available was formidable and included the largest concentration of artillery, tactical airstrikes and B-52 strikes committed in support of an operation of this size in Vietnam. The fire support coordination became increasingly available from II Field Force and Military Assistance Command sources. After the basic fire support annex and artillery fire support appendix were prepared, detailed coordination of fires with other fire support assets was conducted. Ninety-four cannon artillery pieces were positioned to support the initial phases of the attack: 36 105-mm howitzers, 48 155-mm howitzers, four 8-inch howitzers and six 175-mm guns. By 30 April (D-1), the II Field Force heavy and medium artillery, the direct support (DS) Artillery for the 3rd Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division and one Vietnamese airborne Artillery DS battery were in position and prepared to support the operation.

At 0600 on 1 May, D-day, an extensive 390-minute planned artillery and air preparation was initiated, and a total of 2,436 artillery rounds was fired. These fires were integrated effectively with 48 tactical airstrikes to complete the D-day preparation. and 5,460 artillery rounds.
artillery moves to support advancing friendly forces began on 2 May and subsequently were made whenever necessary to ensure continuous artillery coverage. The II Field Force Artillery units alone moved 198 times during the 60-day operation to maintain pace with the maneuver forces.

Positioning II Field Force Artillery units centrally and well forward had facilitated the support of the additional maneuver units as they attacked into Base Areas 354, 707, 350 and 351. units of II Field Force Artillery were moved to the Cambodian border or across it. During one three-day period, 32 artillery moves were conducted to place the firing elements in the best positions to support the expanded operations.
