For his actions in this engagement Sergeant Robert F. Stryker of Company C was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor. The reinforcements swing the momentum of the fight and with no further VC activity Major General Hay concluded that the VC had disengaged and retreat to its sanctuaries across the border in Cambodia. The battle was considered a US/ARVN victory with the United States claiming more than 850 PAVN/VC killed. The PAVN/VC had failed to capture Loc Ninh or inflict severe casualties on US forces with Allied losses of only 50 dead. The battle did, however, succeed in drawing Allied forces away from the population centers and into the remote border areas.
