Operation Apache Snow was a joint U.S. Army and Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) military operation (10 May – 7 June 1969) during the Vietnam War designed to keep pressure on the People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN) units in the A Sầu Valley and prevent them from mounting any attacks on the neighboring coastal provinces.
