    *An Khê is a town in the Gia Lai Province in the Central Highlands region of Vietnam. It is located on the main highway, QL-19 between Qui Nhon on the coast and Pleiku. An Khe was of strategic significance during the Vietnam War. From mid-1965 to 1968, the American 1st Cavalry Division was based there and saw ongoing action in the war. The Army 25th Ordnance Detachment (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) also was located at An Khê. Later in 1968 the 1st Cavalry Division was relocated, and the Army's 173rd Airborne Brigade took over the base camp. - Wikipedia
