Supply Drop, Operation Junction City, 1967. Operation Junction City was the largest U.S. airborne operation since WWII's Operation Market Garden and was the only major airborne operation of the Vietnam War. It began on February 22, 1967 and lasted almost three months with the goal of destroying Vietcong bases and the Vietcong military headquarters for South Vietnam. While American forces captured large quantities of stores, equipment and weapons, it failed to be a turning point in the war.
