	=~~HISTORY~~=		== History ==
	~~TEXT GOES HERE~~		The '''Battle of An Lộc''' was one of the most important battles of the Vietnam War’s 1972 [[Easter Offensive]]. An Lộc, the capital of Bình Long Province, sat on Highway 13 northwest of Saigon and became a major objective as North Vietnamese forces pushed south from bases near the Cambodian border. Because of its location, the town was seen as a gateway toward the South Vietnamese capital.
	~~<br>~~[ ~~SOURCE~~]
			In April 1972, North Vietnamese forces launched a major assault on An Lộc with infantry, tanks, artillery, and rockets. After surrounding the town and cutting key roads, they subjected the defenders to heavy bombardment and repeated ground attacks. South Vietnamese Army units inside the town, reinforced by rangers, airborne troops, and local forces, were forced into a desperate defense under siege conditions.

			The fighting quickly became one of the fiercest engagements of the war. An Lộc was battered by constant shelling, much of the town was destroyed, and resupply became extremely difficult. American advisers remained with the defenders, while massive U.S. air support, especially tactical air strikes and B-52 bombing missions, played a decisive role in breaking up armored assaults and preventing the town from being overrun.

			Although An Lộc was encircled for weeks and came under repeated attack, the defenders held their ground. By the summer of 1972, the North Vietnamese offensive around the town had stalled, the siege was effectively broken, and South Vietnamese forces retained control of the city. The battle became a major strategic victory for South Vietnam, as it halted one of the most dangerous thrusts of the Easter Offensive and prevented a direct enemy advance toward Saigon.
