a. General EnemY 51t us.tion. The tempo and intensi ty of enemy inj.ti- ated activity in the ICTZ during the month of July was light. This r-educed activity \018.6 reflected in t.ho low level of ground incidents, Lncomlng and enemy KIA's. The number of ground incidents (1,187) was the lowst number recorded 8j~ce Deoember 1968. Ene~ incoming (2,540) was one-half of the monthly average for the previous 12 months and at the lowest level since April of this year. The number of enemy killed in action (3,364) was the Loves't since December of 1967. The activity that did occur vas focused in the area south of the Be. Long Valley, the Que Son lotountain region of Quang Nam (p), the northeastern quadrant of Quang Tri (p), and eastern Thua Thien (p). The aotivity in the Ba Long Va:pey ~ the result of ARVN operations in this area and resulted in the discovery ofa hospitaloomplex and several caches. Enemy aotivity in the Que Son MOuntain region oonsisted of large ene~ troop movements early in the month. These DlOvements oould have been preoipitated by Operations Pipestone Capyon and Durham Peak and could 1ndl- cLlte a southward and westward movement to avoid contact:with friendl,. forces. ActiVity in the northeastern portion of Quang Tri(P) and eastern Thua Thien (p) consisted of coordinated attackS by fire/ground attacks targeted for the most part against combat bases and in particular against ARVN, PIt', RF', and PSDF units. This emphasis on RVN forcesls perhaps an indication of the en~'s attempt to disoredit the ability of these forces to protect the people. Concomintantly the enemy has launched an increased eff"rt in counter­ intollj.gence related activities to include this, same general theme. CI related activity seems to reflect a transitional phase towards more political oriented programs which will ~mphasize political and propaganda ~ctiv1ty with selective terrorism aimed at ks,y national polioe, GVN 'administrators, and pacification personnel. Throughout Iqorpscont1nued e.~s18 is being placed on consolidation of Viet Cong controlled areas, .deteatot GVN paoi­ fioation programs, and the weakening and demoralizatlonof theGVN rural' administration through terrorism and anti.;.GVN propaganda, while oonourrentlJr strengthening the communist political organization represented b,y revolu­ tionary committees at the village level and the Provisional Revolutionary ••••• Government at the national level. •.:••' , .. From an order of battle point of view, eneJn1 offensive posture along : ..... the DMZ reJl'l8.1ned relatively unchanged. However, there were a fev intel'- •••• eating order of battle developments on the ,~5 Front. Prisoners and doo- ••••••• : uments have indicated the presence of both the 31st Group and the 27th Reg- •••• iment in the area slightly to the south and southwat of Con Thien. It is : :: possible that both of these units are operating in this area on specifio ••• mission-oriented assignments without rigid areas of operation.

Tovard the find of the month, there WCl'tJ no furt.her contacts with this regiment and no LndLcat.Lons of further reinforceroent~ or any e'l:-\tward movement. To the s ou th in t.he HHTl'H area, both the e03rd Regi!lJ€lnt and the 9th Battalion of t.he 20th Rngtwmt were identified in the vicinit~' of 1he Laos/RVi'j border west of the A Shau Va:aey. Sint~e the other bat.ta Hon8 of' the 2S,th ...ere badIy !TJnu]~(J in the recont heavy fiehtinr. in this ar-ea , it is possible that the 9th Battalion is under the onerational cont.ro? of the 803rd RBp,iment. Elsewhore in MHTTH, a })]"1 identified the Chi 'I'hua II Sapper Battalion as the urrit responsible for an attack on FSB Geronimo sout.hvest of Hue. This attack vas si~:nificant in that it marked the first offensive activity in which this battalion wa~ known to have been engaged in at least seven months and repre­ ~ents a mnjor move of the Chi Thua II in a northeaat.er'Ly direction. To the south in Quang Nam (r), prisoners were captured from all major enemy units operating 'in the Danang 'I'AOR. A reviev of the inforIMtion elicited from these PW's indicates that the enemy is either remaininr, in his ba.~e areas or is wi thd raving evon further to the south and ....est away from the lowlands south of Danang, In the aouthern provinces there wa~; one change in order of battle holdings vith t.he 9th Sapper' Battalion added to the III r·:AF acB in s out.heaeter-n Quang Ngai (p) 101hiJ8, the 5~6th Sapper Battalion vas dropped as a battalion sized unit. Tho compardr-s of the 5?6th ar-e still located to the north and nor-t.hves t of Quane Ngai City but are cons:idered to be operating Independent.Iy rather than under battalion subordination. The month closed 101i th enemy initioted actinty at a 10\( level. Howver, there ws a growing hody of agent reportfl indicating a corps wide enemy offensive with 19' August and ;2 September the most mentioned dates. In spite of' these ~gent reports, there were few other collsteral intelligence indicators pointing to an immi­ nent NVA/VC offensive.

With favorable weather throughout the ICTZ for the majority of the reporting period, all Lines of Communication (LOC) continued to function ef­ ficiently. As in June, enemy action was sporadic, with fewer recorded incidents of ineffective harassment on the roads, bridges, ports and rail lines tSee paragraph 6.c. and 6.d.). At no time were logistic activities suspended due to enemy operations. (1) In Northern ICTZ three operations, HERKIMER MOUN'I'AIN, VIRGINIA RIDGE and UTAH MESA were sucessfully terminated in July. HERKIMER MOUNTAIN, which began on 9 May, was a 4th Marines reconnaissance-in-force in the mountainious jungles North-West of Vandergrift Combat Base. VIRGINIA RIDGE, a 3d Marines operation which began on the 1st of May, swept North of the Rockpile, and like HERKIMER MOUNTAIN was designed to both search out invading North Vietnamese troops and break up impending attacks on fire support bases in the area. These two operations accounted for almost 700 enemy killed and tons of food and supplies cap­ tured and destroyed. Operation UTAH MESA, a joint American and ARVN search and clear mission, terminated on 9 July at a cost to the enemy of 309 NVA soldiers killed. This allied thrus',: was into the territory South of the old Khe Sanh Co~at' Base. The 9th Marines, participating in itheir last operation prior to redeployment from Vietnam, were joined by the 1st Brigade of the 5th Infantry (Mech) and two battalions of the 2d ARVN Regiment. •• As in the past operations in this area, forward operating •• • bases (FOB) and fire support bases (FSB) served as deep •••• staging areas for helicopter resupply operations. • • ••••••• (2) In Southern ICTZ, three operations received ••••••• the bulk of combat logistic support: BOLD PURSUIT, BRAVE ••• ••• ARMADA and PIPESTONE CANYON.

This•1apid-reac­ tion force, operating on intelligence receivea',72 hours prior to H-hour, did not permitlogistio preparations nor­ mal to an operation of this size, however, no difficulties in providing support were experienced. The major support­ ing unit is this operation was L8U-3at Chu Lld. P![PESTONE CANYON, which extended beyond the repottingper­ iod, is a multi-battalion allied effort aimed~t clearing the Go Noi Island area 14 miles South of ,Danang, "in the heart of the "Rice Triangle". Thesecorid goal of the opera­ tion was realized when a massiveoomrpr offooda'nd other supplies traversed the 26 miles from ij~i An (theProvi­ sional Capital) to Thuong Due to the West. This is a major s t ep in pacdf Lcat.Lon as it opens al.firge ,~u:ea ~hich was previously inaccessible to cO:mmerQial and farm vehicles. In addition, 28 million squareyardso!,safehaven for ene" my soldiers has been cleared and X'a.tedby Marine and Army engineers. Logistic support South of the Hai\Vanpass continues to be , characterized by heavier relianoe ot\established logistic support areas as opposed to FSBs,and FOBS., Dependence on helicopter support is still prev~lent, however,' 'at the far end of the logistic Chain.

" warded to the •Force Logistic Command (Attn:•G-3 Operations). 2. Each increment will be segregated and identified. 3. Clearance to load at Deep Water Pier will be obtained well in advance of staging, and verified at least 48 hours prior to embarkation. 4. Class V will be staged at Deep Water Pier at least I day prior to embarkation. 5. An ammuni­ tion technician from the parent organization of the redeploy­ ing unit will be stationed at Deep Water Pier with duplicate copies of the Class V requisitions. 6. Force Logistic Com­ mand will deliver all unfilled and partial requisitions to the ammunition technicians with the 1st load of Class V. 7. On comp1etioll of staging, the embarkation commander's represen­ tative will inventory the Class V, vdrify its receipt, and be r0sponsible until turned over to the appropriate organization on debarkation. (d) Transfer of Class I: It was originally planned to stage all MO and MOA at Camp Books to insure accountability and control. This would require transfer of stocks from NSA to Camp Books and return, over practically the same route. Since an area for advance staging at Deep Water Pier was provided, rations could be staged and marked directly at Deep Water Pier. This method eliminates the requirement to transfer over 650 short tons an additional 40 miles, with a commensurate saving in motor transport as­ sets. This Command will continue to stage Class I directly at Deep Water Pier. (e) Computation requirements for Class I and III, mount-out and mount-out augmentation (CG, FLC's report). 1 Computations for Class I and III MIO and MOA are currently tasked to the using units by CG III MAF with requisitions submitted to the, Force Logistic Command for com­ p1etion. Experience gained f:com Keystone Eagle has shown • •••• that this method: ••:••• a Creates an excessive time lag. • • •••••• •••• b In some cases causes duplicate com- • •• putations. ••••• • ••••••• c Creates a greater possibility for er-..• ••• ror as each unit is computing its own requirements., ••• • •••• 2 As an alternative, computations were • completed by the Force Logistic Command based ~n composite •••• • personnel and equipment densities provided by the redeploy­ •• ing units for Class I and III. 3 Because of the peculiarities of weapons

density and the •variable corilbinations that may• be deployed, centralized computations of Class V are not considered feasi­ ble. 4 Based on the above it was recommended that for future redeployments Class I and III, MO and MOA, be centrally computed by the Force Logistic Command. This recommendation was considered but because redeploying units wanted to review and approve these computations thus pos­ sibly doubling the processing time and not eliminating any of the personnel involved the recommendation was disapproved. (f) Class II, IV, VII and IX: CG FMFPac 360 computer program was utilized to develop mount-out/mount­ out augmentation requirements of these classes of supply. A c'JIltinuing review of output will be required for future de­ ployments and document discrepancies will be reported by CG, FLC to CG, FMFPac to ensure the updating of this information. (g) Airlift OperationsJ The lift operations on 140015 July lifted a total of, 1578 troops from Ouang Tri to Dananq Air Base for shuttling to .t.he Deep Water Piers • At this time planners were unaware of the time and the magnitude of the farewell ceremony on the 15th and some difficulties were encountered by the Battalion concerning luggage and get­ ting the troops ready for the ceremony. In th(~ futur~, troops and their baggage will be moved on the first day of the air­ lift. (h) Use of U-Boats: The use of U-Boats for prestaging at NSAD Cua Viet proved highly successful. How­ ever, it has been determined that an overkill existed by as­ signing 15 U-Boats to Dong Ha/Cua Viet. In future redeploy­ ments only 8to 10 boats will be assigned for similar back­ load operations at the Dong Ha/Cua viet complex. ••••• ••••••• b.

c. Civic Action Projec~~. The following are highlights of significant civic actIon projects conducted du!'ing the month of July 1969: (1) ~ang Tri Province. The 1st Brigade, 5th Infan­ try Division, is plowing 1500 acres of overgrown !'ice fields in the area of YD488502, YD5l9~83, YD510477, and YD480495. This riceland has not been plowed since the 1968 Tet Offen­ sive and should increase the rioe produotion by 4~ in Trieu Phong and Hai Lang Districts. If this projeot had not been assisted by civie action it would have taken the Vietnamese f ar-rver s at least one year to cultivate this land. (2) Thus Thien Province. On 9 July, fire broke out in Con Son Refugee Village, (YD533343) destroying 261 home. and loaving nearly 1300 persons homeless. The 3d Brigade, 101st Airborne Division along with Division a-5 was able t9 .... deliver 8,600 pounds of food to the strioken village the sata,:..• day.

Altholll!h often reluctant to ohange long established ways, even the most s t.ubbor-n farmer is quick to adopt new or-ac t i cea when he is shown the results of these practlves at one of VAT 7'8 "mode 1 I'a rrua'", A Vietnamese farmer who can see a barren piec e of land p;ro\oJ in::-~ hea1thy crops, a dry and dusty farm ir­ rigated, or a new house erected on last season's income from experimental crops can hardly argue new methods. It is planned to expand this type of assistance to other Civic Action Teams in the near future.

The c om oLe tion of the roadway from H1ghway #1 to the inter­ ior of the hamlet of Xuan Thieu has proved economically bene­ ficial to the people. The merchants are able to market their p~oduce much easier. The construction of milk processing plants in eaoh of the three refugee camps in the Force Logistio Command C~AOR has proved ~fry beneficial. Collectively these plants reoonsti­ tute po"",ered milk and serve a Rlass or milk and a vitamin auppl ement to over 6,000 chiIdren daily. Increased health ben- efits have been noted. • A village-wide endeavor to improve MEDCAP facilities and the village and hamlet chief's offices in Hoa Minh Village has been extre~ely popular.

Narrative Summary (1) General ••••• ••••••• (a) Psychological Operations continued at a hi~ • level during the month of July to exploit the lull in hostili~!es. The decline in tactical activity provided a receptive atmosp~~: for the Nguyen Trai II Campaign. The campaign was initiated ~. : promote faith in the stability and capability of the GVN. •• :.: During July, 156 million leaflets were disseminated in suPpo~.· : of Nguyen Trai II. The lull also accomodated the redeployment • of the 9th RLT. An extensive program was instituted to give •••• : effective PsyOp support to this action. Political instruction •• seminars were held in the 5 ICTZ province capitals to display-··. : continuing US support of GVN and to offset any possible anxiety·· caused by the US troop redeployment. Represented at the seminars were III MAP PsyOp, CORDS/PsyOp, Regional VIS, and I Corps POLWAR. By continuous coordination of these units, future redeployments should be accomplished with lessening psychological strain. SECRET ENCLOSURE (, )

DECLASSIFIED DECLASSIFIED • • (b) Several new techniques for ICTZ were baptized during the month of July. The first night aerial broadcast was flown in ICTZ by Flight "A", 9th SOS and found to be quite effective. Night missions will continue to be scheduled. Vietnamese music was played on aerial tapes and served as an attention gainer and mood setter. The aerial broadcast was also employed with ingenuity on JUly 4th by playing patriotic songs over us positions for appropriate recognition of the day. Feedback to Force PsyOp indicates that this was well received. (c) Work continued on the television translator site located on Hill 724 (Hai Van Pass). The antenna and shelter for equipment have been erected with the equipment scheduled for installation in August. When operational, the translator will relay the TV beam across Danang Harbor into Danang, and further on into the countryside south of Danang. Maximum effective range is estimated at 20 miles. (2) Chieu Hoi Campaign. (a) Hoi Chanhs reached a monthly high in ICTZ with 558 ralliers. This compares with 262 for the previous month (June) and 320 for July 1968. Although exact reasons cannot be ascertained, it is reasonably certain that the extreme hardships and adverse living conditions are a factor in the high Hoi Chanh rate for July. Critical rice shortages, malnutrition, malaria, and lack of VC/NVA victories, all combine to lower enemy morale and raise the Chieu Hoi rally rate. This is backed up by several Hoi Chanhs who have reported their reasons for rallying. (b) Another factor contributing to the high rally rate is the immediate exploitation of ralliers: the ralliers ••••• are used to urge others to follow. The sooner a Hoi Chanh •.:••• appeals to his comrades after capture, the greater his crediqil~ty. During this period of low morale due to food shortage and hi~···· malaria rate, the enemy are very receptive to a friend's cail.t~. rally. Further exploitation is attained by dropping special:••: : leaflets on the enemy position in coordination with a Hoi Cha~h••• personal appeal via Earlyword. Prepared tapes have also bee~ :: played during the Hoi Chanh's absence. The combination of alt· • available media has successfully contributed to the high Hoi •••• : Chanh rally number. •• ••• • (3) Anti-VC. The PsyOp effort in this area exploited ••: the same enemy vulnerabilities that have already been cited. Hoi Chanhs have reported that they received instructions to avoid military contact on fertile soil, thus saving possible food source. In addition, captured documents have included guidance for famine relief programs. Armed with this knowledge, a campaign directed towards the enemy has been waged with aerial and ground loudspeaker broadcasts, ground and aerial leaflet SECRET LtG ENCLOSURE (, )

DECLASSIFIED DECLASSIFIED • dissemination, movies, APT's and Cultural Drama• Teams. These techniques are all employed to discredit the VC and to flush them out of their known habitats. Terrorist incidents and attempted terrorist attacks have been exploited to educate the people that the intents of the VC are detrimental to peaceful objectives and to show that VC destroys, while GVN builds. Pro-GVN announcements are made as the alternatives to VC control.

(4) Anti-NVA. Emphasis has been increased on tactical PsyOp directed at enemy base camps and infiltration routes. The major themes are war weariness, fear of death, food shortages, and malaria. The lull in offensive action limits the potential of combat loss exploitation; however, continued emphasis on illness and hardship contribute to our PsyOp effort.

(5) Pro-GVN.

(a) Civic Action projects continue to play a major role in the promotion of GVN support. More emphasis has been placed on the accomplishments of the Vietnamese. Indigenous corpsmen were utilized on MedCaps to promote confidence in local capabilities. Distribution of Pro-GVN material is standard for all such operations. A Chieu Hoi center open house was conducted to give many natives, including many VC sympathizers, a chance to see that the promises of the government are sincere and the "new life" offered a Hoi Chanh is real.

(b) PsyOp efforts capitalized on the departure of the 9th RLT to display the advances made by the ARVN and to establish their capability for self-sufficiency. This move reflected creditably on the strength of the GVN. •• (6) Volunteer Informant Program (VIP). During the modt~.: of July there were 1,072 turn-in reports. For the ordnance received 1,100,470 $VN was paid. There was more enemy ordnanc~•••:. turned in this month than in past months. This is an encouragi~g sign as in the past a large percentage of returned ordnance wa~· :.: . . of us manufacture . .••.. • ••••••• (7) Effectiveness Indicators. ••• ••• • (a) Admitting inherent short-com1ngs,. perh aps one••••••: best scale of effectiveness is direct examination of ralliers and • PW's. The most recent tabulation from the month of May shows ~~. : following results received from a random sample of 43 of the •• enemy (16 NVA and 27 VC) : Number who stated saw GVN/US PsyOp leaflets or other PsyOp printed material: 38 (15 NVA and 23 VC) - 88% Number who stated heard GVN/US Psyop aerial broadcasts: 38 (15 NVA and 23 VC) - 88% # SECRET ENCLOSU~E (, )

DECLASSIFIED DECLASSIFIED • • .' Number who stated enemy had taken counter­ measures against GVN/US PsyOp material: 22 (10 NVA and 12 VC) - 51% Percentage of those interviewed who felt GVN/US propaganda (leaflets and broadcasts) wasCD9dible: 70% (approx) This is an encouraging report. The very act of rallying bespeaks of effectiveness in our effort. (b) The departure of the 9th RLT was accomplished with some apprehension but a general equanimity by the populece. This can be largely attributed to the Nguyen Trai II Campaign in presenting the GVN and ARVN as a strong and capable team ready to assume the responsibility for self-defense. (8) PsyOp Intelligence. (a) During the month of July, enemy political and propaganda activity continued to remain at a relatively high level. In the early part of the month, the bulk of enemy political and propaganda activity consisted of meetings for both enemy cadre personnel and the general populace in enemy controlled areas with the predominant topic being the formation of the Provisional Revolutionary Government (PRG). This was followed by a slight decrease in reported meetings taking place. Additionally, a change in emphasis from extolling the formation of the PRG to increasing food production and contribution to the VC occurred in enemy propaganda activity. Unlike recent months, there was a slight increase in enemy propaganda activity in the northern two provinces during the latter part of the month, and represented a slight change of enemy propaganda activity being concentrated in the southern three provinces. ••••• ••••••• (b) Despite the enemy's intensive propaganda efforts, no discernible indications were visible that the enemy achieve4•••:. any degree of success among the general population. By resorting to acts of terrorism, which increased slightly during the middle :.: of the month and then abated, the enemy indirectly acknowledged·· • failure of his propaganda activity to achieve the desired· •• :.: objective of weakening and toppling the present GVN. Other •••• : indicators of apparent failure can be found among captured enem~. : documents, which contain comments of enemy propaganda being •• : disdained by the populace and exhortations to strive for establish~ ment of a "Peace Cabinet" and complete withdrawal of US forces.··· ••: However, the most singular reason for the failure of enemy propaganda to achieve any degree of success is the lack of a recent and significant military victory. (c) Noteworthy of special comment is the reaction to the redeployment of US forces that took place during the month. While the South Vietnamese population generally reacted in a rather calm and confident manner, which was abetted by GVN SECRET it 8 ENeLOSUR E (.1 )

DECLASSIFIED DECLASSIFIED • • " sponsored "gang-plank" ceremonies, the enemy was quick to exploit the redeployment of US forces as a positive indication that the US had conceded defeat. Initially, the enemy unit political officers used the redeployment of US troops to boost the sagging morale of enemy troops. Later in the month, the theme of US troop redeployment was added to, and also to bolster, the enemy claim of victories of having forced the united States to halt the bombing of NVN and to recognize the NLF. In the latter part of the month, enemy troops were cautioned that the number of US troops scheduled for redeployment represented only a small per­ centage of the total US forces in SVN and were instructed not to "sit and wait" for a solution to the conflict to be reached at the Paris Talks. (d) Prominent enemy propaganda themes reported during the month of July were: . 1. Redeployment of us troops a VC!NVA victory. 2. Emulation of PRG. 3. Imminent victory for VC/NVA. 4. Appeals to the populace for political and logistical support~ 5. Increase food production and contribution to Viet Congo 6. Announced redeployment of us troops a deceptive trick to-appease anti-war segment of US population. - ..•• . •••••• • • • ••••••• ••••••• ••• ••• ••••••• •••••• ••• • •••• ••• • ••••
