6. IIRC the aftermath of Tet went on for quite a while.

My unit got moved north from II Corps to I Corps in March, and we convoyed through Hue. Everything was burned out, knocked down, ripped up, bullet holes everywhere....There had been a prolonged struggle to regain Hue, as I recall. & then we spent most of that spring doing helicopter assaults to take back all the little LZs that had been overrun & abandoned just south of the DMZ. This culminated with the big operation the Cav mounted in April to dig the Marines out from Khe Sanh, where they had been under seige since Tet. My battalion took about 25% casualties in 2 weeks there.
