The Battle of Cua Viet (January 25–31, 1973) took place right before and after the Paris ceasefire agreement took effect (8:00 a.m. January 28, 1973). The Army of the Republic of Vietnam launched Operation Tango City to capture the Cua Viet port base (Quang Tri) with the aim of "cutting off our maritime aid to the Tri-Thien battlefield, blocking the port gate of the Provisional Revolutionary Government of the South". This mission was assigned to the Marine Division (HQ of the Republic of Vietnam), under the coordination of Colonel Nguyen Thanh Tri (Deputy Commander of the Marine Division) and under the direct command of the Commander of the I Corps, Lieutenant General Ngo Quang Truong. The side of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (Liberation Army of the South) was commanded by General Le Trong Tan (Deputy Chief of the General Staff) as the Northern frontline commander; while Commander-in-Chief Vo Nguyen Giap directly commanded the campaign.
