remaining structures within the inner perimeter, the bunkers on the outer perimeter, and the airfield.

Progress remained on schedule into February because a relatively low level of productivity was assumed during the early stages of work. However, productivity did not increase as scheduled in the latter part of February and onward due to equipment problems and the drain on air assets during the Cambodian incursion which commenced in March. Also, design changes on the airfield and construction deficiencies in the camp itself caused an extension of the schedule.

The 15 April completion date was established for two reasons: the first dealt with tactical considerations in that available forces were spread very thin protecting two campsites. The second very practical reason was that the monsoon rains could be expected to commence around that time. When the rains arrived, there was still much to be done that was directly hampered by the ensuing muddy conditions. Finally, after very slow progress, an unseasonal break in the weather provided the necessary respite, and the work was complete in early August 1970.

This camp was the epitome of a fighting camp, well sited on a commanding hill with all facilities underground. The fighting bunkers were placed so as to maximize the effect of defensive fire and at the same time protect civilian irregulars and their dependents against either direct or indirect fire. Because of its sophistication and isolation, construction of this camp proved to be a real challenge to the capability and ingenuity of all concerned.
