The Battle of Kankan was a defining moment in the Guinea War, revealing the inability of American forces to effectively fight a guerrilla war with insurgents. Despite a nominal US victory, over 800 troops were killed in the operation, and the event catalyzed considerable American impatience with the war effort. Similar US campaigns in Coyah, Port Kamsar, and Gueckedou, as well as a Second Battle of Kankan, would occur in subsequent years. The battle is often regarded as symbolic of the Guinea War.
