I don't remember any Tiger force in the central highlands. If I remember right the rock pile and Khe Sanh were in the central highlands. The HoBo woods is also there. I was around there back then but had little contack with anyone.

I was in the Highlands the entire year of 67 and did not hear of it either.

The Rock Pile and Khe Sanh were, of course, very close to the DMZ in the northern part of I Corp. Maybe they were technically in the Highlands, but I've generally thought of the Highlands as centered on Pleiku and bounded by Dak To/Kontum in the North, An Khe in the East and Ban Me Thuot in the South. IOW, that part of II Corps. I need to get into maps to see where this Tiger Force was allegedly operating.

Good morning.
The HoBo Woods was in III Corps, not the Highlands. It was a misnomer as there weren't a hell of a lot of woods to be found. I worked there in '68 and again in '69. The RockPile and Khe Sanh were up near the DMZ. One of my jarhead friends says you could hear the big arty being fired from inside North Vietnam.

On a side note, I read about Tiger Force in an article that had been poasted on a bulletin board at jump school in November of 1966. That article made me volunteer for the LRPs when I got to Nam in 1967.
