I 1 • PART II NARRATIVE SUMMARY 1. INTRODUCTION. a. General. During June 1968 III Marine Amphibious Force Headquarters was located in East Danang, Republic of Vietnam. The average personnel strength was 153,077, an average of 668 under the previous month. b. Activities. III MAF continued to be gUided by COMUSMACV Letter of Instruction (LOI 3-66) dated 30 March 1966 in pursuit of III MAF objectives for June 1968. 2. OVERALL pVALUATION. a. During the month of June allied forces continued operations to deny enemy units entry into the ICTZ, to destroy enemy forces in ICTZ, to deny the enemy the use of supply bases and staging areas for attack, and to deny him access to food producing areas. b. The level of hostilities in ICTZ dropped sharply during the period. Frustrated in his attempts to launch a major offensive and having suffered severe losses from the spoiling attacks of III MAF units in May, the enemy sought to avoid action in order to concentrate his efforts on resupply, replenishment and training of his forces. c. In northern ICTZ attacks by fire along the DMZ continued, but ground action was relatively light. In Quang Nam Province, elements of the 1st Marine Division continued Operation ~ffiLUKE THRUST and ALLEN BROOK to disrupt enemy efforts to concentrate for an attack in the Danang area. d. During June III MAF initiated three new operations in ICTZ, Operation SWIFT SABER (8-14 June) utilizing the 7th Fleet's SLF Bravo, Operation NORFOLK VICTORY (19-29 June) and VAt{CE CANYON (21 June -). e. In all, III MAF conducted a total of fourteen major unit operations accounting for 3,953 enemy KIA.

During the month of June there were a number of significant contacts although they were scattered and no pattern of offensive activity developed. The Go Noi Island/ Hoi An area produced the most consistant activity. Based upon activity, PW interrogations and agent reports, enemy forces in this area were considered to have recuperated most quickly from losses suffered during May. Attacks by fire characterized the enemy initiated activity during the month. Incoming rounds were regularly received at friendly installations along the DMZ, although at times only in the nature of harassing fire. Toward the end of the month the volume began to increase slightly. ~his was particularly noticeable 16 DECLASSIFIED DECLASSIFIED ... • in the Khe Sanh area after the press announcement of friendly withdrawal from the combat base. Near Khe Sanh, the largest contacts occurred toward the middle of the month when 186 and 131 NVA were KIA by 3/4 (USt~) on 15 and 18 June respectively. PW's identified their unit as the 88th Regiment of the 308th Division. Earlier, the 102nd Regiment of this division had been identified by PW's and documents, and prisoners taken on 7 and 10 June iden tified their unit as the 83rd Engineer Regiment. This engineer regiment reportedly had the mission of building a road from the Xe Pon River (XD 7832), on the Laos/Quang Tri Province borde~ to Hue, whi~ the two regiments of the 308th Division would attack Khe Sanh. Aerial photography confirmed the completion of 30 km of the road but large attacks against I DECLASSIFIED DECLASSIFIED • • I~I area from Hoi An to Thuong Duc, the most significant of which was a 21 June find of a large amount of ammunition and weapons including 77 - 122mm rocket warheads, along a trail at (ZC 138647) 12 km north of Thuong Duc. This find appeared to have been hastily aban doned by the enemy. In Quang Tin Province and Quang Ngai Province activity was at a low level during the month. Two contacts on 5 and 7 June near enemy base area 117, resulting in 37 NVA KIA, were be lieved to be against elements of the 1st VC and 3rd NVA Regiments of the 2nd NVA Division. On 12 June in 'the same area Americal elements received approximately 30 rounds of 60mm mortar fire, some of which contained CS gas. The enemy also used a portable flame thrower which was sUbsequently captured. Despite the increased threat in the province from elements of the 2nd rNA Division, enemy initiated activity did not increase. The enemy units probably with drew from contact to accomplish resupply activities and training of replacements. Documents captured on 14 June west of the Dak Pek CrDG Camp in Kontum Province, identified elements of the previously. unlocated 21st Regiment of the 2nd i~vA Division. For the most part, activity in Quang Tin Province consisted of harassing attacks by fire, mining incidents and terrorism. The most significant terrorist activity occurred on 29 June when CAP 1-3-4 at Son Tra Village (BT 6201) received a mortar attack and satchel charges. Mortars were also fired into the village and houses set afire. The fire spread rapidly and destroyed 80% of the village. The incident re sulted in 15 RD Cadre, 73 civilians killed and over a hundred civilians wounded. Routes 14 and 534 continued to show increased traffic and improvements. Photography revealed Route 534 cleared and widened as far as Hiep Duc. Heavy sampan activity was noted along the Song Thu Bon and Song Tranh Rivers. In Quang Ngai Province, the most significant development was the probable movement of the 22nd and 2nd Regiments of the 3rd NVA Division into the province from Binh Dinh Province. This information was given by a PW, a member of the 2nd Regiment, who was captured southwest of Ba To. The PW stated that the Division had left Binh Dinh approximately 1 May. Despite the increase in enemy forces in the province, enemy activity remained at a low level and was characterized by terrorism and mining incidents. b. Enemy Action Statistic~.
