The task of destroying the NVA 29th Regiment, which was in the A Shau Valley at this time, was given to the 3rd Brigade, 101st airborne Division, which launched a helicopter assault into the area on May 10th, 1969. For the next week the brigade's 3rd Battalion, 187th Infantry, struggled to take Hill 937. The 2nd Battalion, 502nd Infantry was later committed, along with the ARVN 2nd Battalion, 3rd Infantry Regiment and two companies of the 2nd battalion, 506th Infantry. The hill finally fell on the 20th to these combined forces, but was then abandoned to the enemy.
