In June 1969 5RAR fought one of the last large-scale actions of the Australian war, during the Battle of Binh Ba five km north of Nui Dat in Phuoc Tuy province. The battle was unusual in the Australian experience, involving close-quarter house-to-house fighting through the village of Binh Ba against a combined force of Viet Cong and North Vietnamese Army.
For the loss of one Australian killed at least 91 VC/NVA were killed and 11 captured in a hard fought but one-sided engagement. Such large-scale battles were not the norm in Phuoc Tuy province however.
Indeed losses suffered at Binh Ba forced the NVA to move out of Phuoc Tuy into adjoining provinces and although the Australians did encounter main force units in the years to come,the Battle of Binh Ba marked the end of such clashes.
