In early 1961 the Division was sent to Laos to support
Pathet Lao forces and on 11 April captured
Tchepone. This secured an essential area for the expansion of the
Ho Chi Minh Trail. In March 1964 the division was split into the 325A Division which was to begin preparations for moving to
South Vietnam, while the 325B Division would rebuild in the North. The Division's 95th Regiment arrived in
Kon Tum Province in December 1964. In February 1965 the 95th was joined by the 101st Regiment. U.S intelligence indicated that the 325C Division was operating in the
Vietnamese Demilitarized Zone by July 1967. On 3 February 1968, a battalion of the 325C attacked the Marines on Hill 861A north of
Khe Sanh Combat Base, the attack was repulsed with 7 Marines and 109 PAVN killed. On the afternoon of 22 March the 324th pushed the 15th Rangers out of
Phú Lộc cutting Route 1 and forcing the ARVN forces to withdraw back to a defensive line around
Phu Bai Combat Base On 24 March all ARVN forces were ordered to abandon Huế and regroup in
Danang, a disorganised seaborne evacuation followed and by 25 March the PAVN was in control of the city. For the attack on Danang, by 26 March the Division advanced from the north, the 9th Regiment of the 304th was located northwest of Danang, while the rest of the 304th and
711th Divisions encircled from the south and the 3rd Regiment of the 324th was located southwest of the city. By the afternoon of 29 March the 2nd Corps had penetrated the ARVN defences and entered the city which finally fell on 31 March. On 16 April the Division's 101st Regiment captured
Phan Rang and then after defeating several ARVN counterattacks captured
Phan Rang Air Base. On 18 April the Division's 18th Regiment captured
Phan Thiết. By 26 April the Division and the 304th Division were attacking Route 15, the last overland link between
