INTRODUCTION. A. GENERAL. During May 1969. III Marine Amphib!ous Force Headquarters was located in East Danang. Republic of Vietnam. The average personnel strength was 141. 170; an increase of 330!~-!,__~~e preyJous m()!~~h._!- _ ----- B. ACTIVITIES. III Marine Amphibious Force continues to be guided by COMUSMACV Directive 10-11 dated 1 November 1968 in pursuit of its objectives for May 1969. 2. OVERALL EVALUATION. The. level c£ enemy activity took a sharp climb at the start of the month and the tempo was maintained until the last few days of the month. The cul mination of the enemy's concentrated efforts were highlighted by-\the; sustained efforts of the 5th Marine Regiment and late in the month by the lOlst Airborne Division's assault on Hill 937. The enemy demonstrated throughout the ~onth the most aggressive tactics of his efforts of the past few months. There were a sharp increase in the number of rocket targets and enemy movement was noted in larger numbers. Despite the stepup, the contacts were largely unsuccessful for the enemy and heavy casualties were repeatedly inflicted. Statistically in I Corps most of the enemy's casualties were the result of numerous small contacts. During May, the most significant contacts were enemy initiated at defensive positions and the attacks were either prepped. or consisted solely of heavy rocket, mortar, and rocket propelled grenade fire. A majority ot May's friendly casualties usually occurred in these barrages before repelling fire power superiority could be returned. Enemy use of mines and explosive devices continued to be an effective tactio. Small unit operation's casualties for May were 106 USMC KIA, 7111 USMC vi«, .5 USA ~NIA. 869 Enemy KIA. 9 ?ltJ!VC.

LOGISTICS• a. General. All Lines of Communication in ICTZ con tinued to function smoothly during the month of May. Gen erally excellent weather provided dry roads and good air and sea conditions for logistic and administrative traffic. Enemy interdiction of LOC remained at near the low level set in April•. Harassment of logistiQ o,.reas, particularly out-ports, increasedoons1derably, bQ1;'.wi thout appreciable effect (see paragraph 6.c.) on operations. (1) Two major operations (MAINE C~G and APACHE SNOW) took place in NICTZ in May. MAINE CRAG, which ended during the first week of May, was a multi-battalion thrust through the area south of Khe Sahn. Starting in March, the 3d Marines; together with ·US Army elements from the 1st Brigade of the 5th Infantry Division, dealt the enemy a se vere logistic defeat. Among the many items captured/un covered during the operation were approximately 922,400 rounds of various caliber ammunition, over 400 individual and crew-served weapons, 7500 pounds of sugar and 356 tons of rice. APACHE SNOW, a search-and-clear mission in the Ashau Valley, i.ncludes the 3d Airborne Brigade (of the 10lst Airborne Di vision), the 9th Marines, and elements of the 1st ARVN Di vision. This operation began on 10 May and continues, cha racterized by steady light contact and oocassional heavy encounters e.g., Hill Number 937. As in previous operations in the mountainous jungle of this AO, Forward Operating Bases (FOB) and Fire Support Bases (FSB) supported by helicopter li.fts of supplies, and personnel provided the key logistic support. ! (2) South of the Hai Van Pass, in SICTZ, Operation OKLAHOMA HILLS continues in the Happy Valley area. Logis tic support is being furnished by trucks and helicopters from the Hill 55 LSA, operated -by FLSG-Alpha, Force Logis tics Command. From 5 to 20 May, BLT 1/26, ~ogether with elements of the 2d Marine Brigade (ROKFV), units of the.'5lst and' 54th ARVN Re giments, and the Amerioal Division co~ducted Operation DAR ING REBEL on Barrier Island, 20 miles south of Danang. Con tact was light during most of the .operation, which ~as cha racterized by the resettlement of 3600 local civilians, with the attendant problems of feeding, sheltering and providing medical attention. This was handled in almost routine fash ion ,using the techniques and skills developed in' previous, similar operations.

Government ice plants (2 plants -- 15 tons each) have a total produc toon capacity of 57,000 lbs. per day. The total require ment for dining facilities within the Danang TAOR is 80,000 lbs. per day (based on the issue factor of 2 pountls per man per day for those units without an internal ice production capability). Units that have ice machines are allocated 1 1/2 1bs. per man per day. In order to meet minimum requi rements over 23,000 lbs. per day must be procured from the 44 Enclosure (1) DECLASSIFIED DECLASSIFIED • •I' two a'vailable approved civilian ioe plants. When the tem perature exceeds 95 degrees the civilian plants are unable to freeze quality ice to meet contraot speoifioations. This has occured during most of the month of May 69.

A total of 7,479 MEDCAPS and 2733 DmiTCAPS were conducted during this reporting period. The supplying of com modities, educational efforts, medical treatments, dental treatments, and construction projects maintained a steady lev el. The authority to relax fishing restrictions in I Corps was delegated to the Commanding General, I Corps. A study and evaluation of the feasibility of opening up the lumber indus try in Thua Thien was conducted by Colonel M. DOYLE, USHCR and Mr. D. Wood -- both of wham are engaged in forest products industries in the U. S. The following are highlights of sig nificant civic action programs conducted last month: . (a) Quang Tri Province. Planning is being conducted on turning ov~e 3d Marine Division Memorial Children's Hospital to the GVN. The fund raising campaign which will benefit the hospital continues. The Bo De School at Cam Lo was dedicated. (b) Thua Thien Province. Continued joint coordination and effort between local GVN otficials ARVN, PFs and local citizens was significantly noted during this reporting period. Intelligence information concerning VC, VCI and NVA troop lo cations continues bo be supplied by the populace. Orphanage and dispensary assistance continues. Same hamlet chiefs have taken the initiative in launching dwelling improvement proj ects with V.8. CA activities providing as much scrap material as possible. Centralized control of the distriWution of mat erials is being effected by these. Materials are drawn by the citizens from a central point after plans are approved by the hamlet chief. Poultry and hog projects continue to be suc cessful. A 2,000 person refugee .esettlement project will be effected in the district of Nam Hoa in the near fuiure. CORDS, S-5'8 and the 101st AbnDiv G-5 will be working jointly to ef fect the Physical move during the month of July. (c) Q,uang Ham Province. Though problems are an in herent part in the accomplishment of CA projects, civic action projects and activities continue in the four CAAORs. In the DECLASSIFIED DECLASSIFIED ! .'- ~ • 1st Marine Division area the conduct of normal civic action projects was complicate4 by the additional priority problems brought about by the ASP-l explosion. Of particular note was the initiati.e and organizational ability of district of ficials in taking charge of the rehabilitation of the dam aged areas at Hoa Vang District. Solatium payments have been iaitiated in four out of five damaged haz1ets in Hoa Vang District. MEDCAP programs and swine breeding programs con tinue. The Quang Bam PSA is assisting the province chief in the Xuyen Long resettlement project near Hoi An. In the 1st MAW area, swine projects and material supply assistance ha,e been successful. The villagers of the area express the de sire to do something for themselves and are being assisted with tin, lumber, and cement; the people have been providing some bricks and tile in some rebuilding projects. In the FLC CAAOR, irrigation, MEDCAP programs and vocational and aigh school bBllding projects continue to be the primary CA activ ities. The Hoa Khanh Children's h~spital is to be rededica ted and the administration is to be assumed by the World Re lief Cammision on 7 June 1969. The completion or the voca tional school in Chon Tam and the "igb school in Hoa Khanh are considered to be of specific interest to the people in the FLC area. These schools will serve apprasimately 1,000 students. In the NSA (Danang) CAAOR periodic information of expected enemy activity continues to flow to the VAT's. The emphasis on school construction has increased with 70 olasl rooms under conatruction and several schools in the planning stages. In the 2nd ROKMC Brigade, assistance to the vocation al school in Hoi An is being provided. (d) Quang Tin Province.

Narrative SUmmary (1) General (a) The focus of PSYOP activities during the month of May fluctuated, concentrating on military action during the first part of the month with an upsurge in enemy action prior to Ho Chi Minh t 8 birthday. PSYOP efforts during this period were designed to counter possible damage to public morale as well as to ca~italize on exploiting opportunities re sulting from the increase in NVA/vC casualties due to increase contacts. Demands for special printing requirements increased and aerial deliveries maintained a high level. With the eneJI\Y offensive expected to continue through 20 May 69, the Joint Propaganda Developnent Center (JPDC) under. took the developnent of a series of PSYOP materials designed for use dur ing the attack phase of an offensive and to provide follow-up action when the action subsided. This material included speoial leaflets for deliVery just prior to Ho Chi Minht s birthday on 19 Hq and employed the theme ot offering the wAlVc soldiers ways to e.cape death/injury resulting trom senseless attacks sole~ designed to commemorate the birthdate ot an NVA leader. In the last halt of the month PSYOP aotivities shifted their focus to an information campaign concentrating on the political develop ments and their implications upon the people. PSYOP/POLWAR agencies ini tiated a concerted program to inform the oitizens ot I Corps about the status of their government's political, economic and social programs and to demonstrate why it is in the best interests of the people to support the GVN. The PSYOP material developed to achieve these a1Jlls attempted to spell out cl.ar~ and concisely the proposed peace plans of GVN, the US, and the NLF. With the increased political activity, the constant jokeying for political position, an uneasy feeling has been generated among the people, especially in the rural areas which the current PSYOP/Information Campaign is attempting to settle. By providing the people with current information, updating the political situation as new develo}D8nts occur, the people will not be susceptible to eneD\V' threats and resulting terror ist actim. By' "arming t.he people with facts" they will not be defense less when the enemy propaganda effort reaches them. In addition to this 55 ENCLOSURE (I ) DECLASSIFIED DECLASSIFIED current and responsive information campaign, PSYOP efforts and materiel in urban areas eontdnued to stress governraent aooomplishments, economic plans, educational advancements, and general improvement m the peoples' livelihood. Also, in government controlled areas, economic advancement and increased security were emphasbed. An increased effort is being made to conduct the current PSYOP Information Oampaigns on a personal, . "face-to-face" level, and supporting this most effective means of commun ication are the mass communications techniques and operations. (b) Flight "A" 9th 800 continued to provide steady and re sponsive aerial PSYOP support to III MAr/I Corps psychological operations, adopting a policy whereby each 02-B pilot is assigned a specific area of responsibility where he flies each day. This allows the pilot to be more sensitive to the tactical elements and situation and more famil1at' with the terrain of the area. This provides the units with more effective and responsive aerial PSYOP support. The Flight continued tests and demonstra tions of the Earlyword COJllDJlU1ications System which has provided an effec tive and responsive link between the psychological operator on the ground and the aircraft loudspeaker system. Along with unit demonstrations of Earlyword, a demonstration was given to CG, III MAF. As a result of the demonstration the CO directed III MAF PSYOP to develop an explanation/ instruction card on the uses of Ear~ord to be used by the CG in his briefings. III MAF PSYOP carried out this task and further disseminated this Earlyword card to all tactical elements. The card will assist them in the util.i.zation of Ear~ord. This office estimates that the intro duction of Earlyword to III MArl s aerial PSYOP program has provided a novel stimulus to the tactical units in realizing how effective PSYOP can be and has caused increased utilization of aerial PSYOP support. (c) The III MAF PSYOP Officer attended the I'hird Annual PA.COM PSYOP Conference which was held at Camp H.M. Smith, Honolulu, Hawaii 20-2,3 May 69. The conference objectives were to provide an overall assessment of present PSYOP in the Pacific, to develop proposals for future activities, to provide opportunities for discussing PSYOP problems, to exchange exper iences, and to present a summary of PSYOP activities being conducted in the respective geographic areas. Also, a key objective was to promote a better understanding of the PACOM role in regional PSYOP activities. The III MAr PSYOP Officer made a thirty minute presentation on Marine Corps ffiYOP activities in RVN. Also significant to III MAr was a p-esentatiOJl on the need for a new Army PSYOP Bn !O & E. This JII',.entation was made by the Commandmg Officer of the 7th PSYOP Bn which is under operational control of III MAF FSYOP. (d) The major III MAF tactical commands continued to report the conduct of PSYOP orientation classes 88 part of the indoctrination program for new arrivals. The curricula is adapted to the particular re quirements of each unit, but all classes appear to emphasize the Chieu Hoi and Weapons Rewards progr8Dl8, and how these pt"ograms relate to and assist military operations. (2) Chieu Hoi C&D1rlijYm f It. total ot ;52 Hoi Chanha were received in ICTZ during the report period. This compares with the Mq 1968 to- tal of 2)6 and the April 1969 total of 38,3. The May 69 total represents .)r:'7 a,..;.,.L.- N 1..,' " L _ ,-)rv c,. , l. .J t.), L. (I) DECLASSIFIED DECLASSIFIED a new high for ICTZ zone. Specific reasons for the l:P.gh number of ralliers during period are difficult to discern at this time. Military sUPIX>rt of Chieu Hoi Program during the period focused on targetting eneD\Y troops participating in attacks, especially those units that experienced major defeats with high casualties. (See effectiveness indicators for results of interrogation of Hoi Chanhs.) (3) Anti-NVA Campaign: During the month of May, tactical"acti vities of the NVA increased considerably. PSYOP materials addressing NVA perscnnel exploited NVA unit vulnerabilities placing considerable em Ihasis on the high number of enemy casualties and continued to .tress hardships such as food shortages, lack of medical supplies arid "war weariness". Special emphasis was placed on building up the image of the ARVN forces pointing out their strength and successes and that the anti cipated replacement of US troops by RVNAF is n~ a sign of the US tiring of the war, but an indication that the RVNAF is stronger and more equipped to fight· off the en8Ilij". Other mop efforts to encompass the US troop withdrawal pointed out to the enemy that any last ditch efforts or mad schemes by the NVA leaders to influence the peace talks was futile and any sacrifice by the individual soldiers would be meaningless in the tinal outcome. (4) Anti-VC Cam~: Operation "Daring Rebel", lbich was ini tiated on 13 May in the arr er Island area south of Hoi An, was designed to eliminate VC/NVA presence and stop interdictory activities at the lOOuth of the Song Cau Dai River and thu8 open up this major artery to commercial traffic. The operation provided for evacuation of all residents to "CHIC" locations in Quang Nam and Quang Tin where screening was conducted to identify VCl and other enemy elements. PSYOP support provided operation "Daring Rebel", included printing of special leaflets for SLF "A", aerial delivery and broadcasts. The operation, which concluded on 20 May, pro duced 509 persons who were declared to be Viet Cong by the GVN at the "CHICs" of which 238 of that number were Viet Cong infrastructure. Al though this operation was the major anti-VC effort, authoritj,es through out ICTZ renewed and invigorated efforts to eliminate VC infrastructure from critical rural communities. The "Denounce Viet Cong Infrastructure" Campaign encompassed these efforts and is being revitalized in order to combat this effective weapon of the eneJI\Y which will become increasingly effective as the focus of the conflict becomes more of a political battle and less a military one. (5) Pro-GVN: The I Oorps/III MAF c8l1paign to promote and enhence the image of the GVN continued to stress education of SVN citizens on cur rent political and military situations and significant activities of the GVN which demnstrates their strength, concern for the people, and efforts to improve the citizen's lives and livelihood. PSYOP/POlWAR/Wormation Agencies continued vigorous efforts to keep people informed of political policy statements of authorities. Hopefully this will avert apprehensions resulting from 1aok of information or misquotations and will maintain the image of a progressive and dynamic OW. The most effective PSYOP contacts with pro-gov't audiences are by VIS cadre which operate down to hamlet level. MOl radio progranrning and limited television programing (MOl TV ENCLO~3UF~E 58 ( I ) DECLASSIFIED DECLASSIFIED • in lfue televises four hours per day and AFVH Danang has one hour of Vietnamese progr8JMIing per daY) 8erve to reinforoe per80nal "face-to-face" comnnmications by VIS personnel, API's, MadCaps, etc. Another means of getting information to the people in order to "squelch" rumor8 founded on untruths and halt-truths and halt-truths is the production of "Ban Tin" newspaper which i8 printed twice weetly. 82,000 copies are distri buted throughout ICTZ on a bi-weekl1' basis. Particular emphasis i8 being placedon enhancing the GVN's image in the eye8 of the people &8 the poli tical ramifications of the war are becoming increasingly important. (6) Weapons Rewards campa!!J: The III MAFII Corps Weapals Rewards Program (Voluntary fntormant Program yielded a total of 1,019 incidents with total rewards payments of 2,122,154 tvN to Vietnamese civilians for information leading to the recovery of weapons and explosives. This total compares with 1,530 incidents in April 1969 with rewards payments totaling 2,221,416 $VN. Though May's figures indicate a drop in incidents and pay ments it should be noted that one of the main reason8 for the uncommon quantities of ordnance in April 1969 was the 21 April fire at AS!VI1, Danang. It should also be pointed out that SC1D8 of the ordnance retrieved from that fire was not turne. in until May 1969 and therefore the May 1969 figures are further inflated. However, the record aside frOlll this one incident is co-.endable and compares with the generally high level of re wards incidents maintained during the past twelve month8. The vigorou8 and extensive promotion provided by PSIOP ha8 been a significant factor in this creditable record. (1) Effectiveness indicators: It i8 difficult to identity much less evaluatelSo-called indicators of FSIop/POLWAR effectiveness. Those readily discernable measurements such as Chieu Hoi tally and the incidence of weapons rewards payments can obscure the more basic evidences of at titude and loyalties of the population. Reports received trOll'l 8everal areas regarding the attitudes or the people reflect the concern of the people in the face of news and propaganda materials foretelling the with drawal of US forces from South Vietnam. The very evident anxieties of some of the peo ple would indicate lack of complete confidence in the GVN and demonstrate that the enemy's propaganda efforts to undermine morale are having some effect. The calm of the majority of the people however, indicates that the GVN/Free World efforts to strengthen the confidence of the people and to enhance the GVN/citizenery solidarity is achieving some results. A considerably larger portion of the effort of military PSYOP is currently being devoted towards a program of improving the image of the GVN and promoting confidence and support in the people. This effort however can only serve to reinforce the activities of Vietnamese agencies -- particularly VIS -- as, in this contest, the fact that we are "foreign ers" is our greatest handicap. The I Corps/III MlF regional coordinating council is directing a concerted program to focus the resources of the PSYOr/roLWAR information community to auppor-t VIS in this endeavor. There is little doubt though that VIS requires consi.derably more assistance - and impetus from the national level. One telling gauge of PSYOP effective ness is how well PSIDP messages are reaching the target audiences. To measures results among enemy target audiences interviews are conducted among a random sampling of rovs and ralliers received in ICTZ.

(d) Number who stated enemy had taken countermeasures against GVN/US PSYOP material: 119 (53 VC and 66 NVA). (e) Interviews also indicated significant portion of ralliers and PC1tls cla1l1ed that GVN/US PSYOP material was credible and influenced their decision to ralq/surrender. (8 > Psychological Intellisence. (a> The beginning of the month of May was characterized by light enemy activity with the exception in Quang Tri where a significant rise in enemy operations was noted. Reports conttllued to be received of the enemy's plan to organize public demonstrations against GVN. How ever, no information indicating that the en8D\Y vas able to successfulq initiate even preliminary measures to carry out the reported plan of inciting public demonstrations was received. A shift to JIIOre aggressive propaganda themes was detected with the slogan "Present gifts for Ho Chi Minht S Birthday" being reported by several areas. Included in the cate gory of "gifts" were assassination of GVN officials and public demonstra tions. en 11/12 May, the enemy launched a series of attacks by fire and lindted ground attacks almost exclusiveq against military installations and focused against US forces. These attacks again displ.qed the GOIIIIIIll Dist dictum of subordinating military actions to political goals and were directly related to the ten point proposal issued by the enemy on 8 May. By launch1ng these attacks, the eneJV apparentq hoped to gam the initiative at the Paris Talks. The latter part ot the month was marked by a significant drop in eneJIG'" initiated activity due partially to the truce in honor of Buddha's birthday. However, an increase in terrorist activities directed against refugee and resettlement camps took place and was part of the continued en8llT emphasia to torce the re fugees to return to Viet Cong controlled areas. Additionally, the same period was marked by frequent reports or enemy plans to exploit Buddhist religious celebrations for initiation of public demonstrations against GVN. As the month ended, the enemy was met with a complete lack of suc cess as not one incident of a public demonstration against GVN occured during the Buddhist religious holidays. (b) More prominent propaganda themes employed by the enemy during the month of May were: 1: Establishing a coalition government with NLF representa tion to replace present GVN. GO ENCLO~~)UF<[~ (I ) DECLASSIFIED DECLASSIFIED • 2 Impending withdrawal of US forces trom RVN. J VC,tNVA political victories at Paris and military vic tories on the battlefield. 11 Appeals to populace to return to VC controlled areas• .2 Promise of imminent VC/NVA victory. 6 Birthday present for Ho Chi Minh's birthday. 1 Urging ARVN members, GVN police and administrative of ficials to desert and join NIP cause. 8 Labeling present GVN as a "~ppet" government and re cent GVN sponsored village and hamlet elections as a deceitful fraud. (c) Review of prisoner of war interrogation reports revealed frequent mention of eneJllY' troops suffering from malaria. A. captured enemy document also reflected the eneJllY"s immediate concern with the relatively high malaria rate among the enemy troops. Cd) Also notewort~ was that the lack ot adequate food sup plies, which undoubtedly was the result of locating and capturing enemy rice caches, forced the enemy to dispatch combat troops on rice collection missions. As these rice collection mi8sions aust ot necessity be conducted at night, and without the presence of normal unit security measures designed to control and restrict the movement of the individual enell7 soldier, sev eral returnees exploited this excellent opportunity to ducreetly separate themselves and later rallied to the OVN under the Chieu Hoi Program. Al though an individual meJIlber of the enemy ranks may have made the personal decision to desert and to rally to GVN, a second factor, nemel)" the oppor tunity to take such action without undue risk of being detected, must be present. By dispatching combat troops on rice collebtion missions, the enemy inadvertently provides the second factor -- an opportunity to desert and to rally to OVN under the Chieu Hoi Program. 61 ENCL.OSURE ( I) DECLASSIFIED DECLASSIFIED • 10.
