Ultimately the United States hoped that a strong Vietnamese government would result in improved internal security and national defense. The number of U.S. advisors in the field rose from 746 in January 1962 to over 3,400 by June; the entire U.S. commitment by the end of the year was 11,000, which included 29 U.S. Army Special Forces detachments.

  • Interactive Timeline Counteroffensive, Phase Iii 1 June 1967-29 January 1968
    INTERACTIVE TIMELINE COUNTEROFFENSIVE, PHASE III 1 JUNE 1967-29 JANUARY 1968 Our 50-year lookback January 1967 Timeline Article provided excerpts from the Project CHECO Southeast Asia Report and ARDF support to Operations CEDAR FALLS and JUNCTION CITY. Beginning with his 1967 Operational History Article, The Year of the Offensive Begins, Joe Martin chronicles the war as it evolved and summarizes developing important stages in subsequent articles: Supporting the Marines, Action in II Corps, III Corps War, and Crossover Points. The US Army Center of Military History Vietnam Campaign section has this summary statement for 1967: “As Operation JUNCTION CITY ended, elements of the U.S. 1st and 25th Infantry Divisions, the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment, and the forces of the Army of the Republic of Vietnam swung back toward Saigon to conduct another clearing operation, MANHATTAN. This took place in the Long Nguyen base area just north of the previously cleared "Iron Triangle." South Vietnamese Armed Forces became more active and capable under U.S. advisors. During the year the Vietnamese Special Forces assumed responsibility for several Special Forces camps and for the CIDG (Civilian Irregular Defense Group) companies manning them. In each case all of the U.S. advisors with- drew, leaving the Vietnamese in full command. With an increased delegation of responsibility to them, the South Vietnamese conducted major operations during 1967, and, in spite of VC attempts to avoid battle, achieved a number of contacts. Despite the success of U.S. and South Vietnamese Army operations, there were indications in the fall of 1967 of another enemy build-up, particularly in areas close to Laos and Cambodia.” The Leatherneck website Chronology of Vietnam cites a more detailed 50th Vietnam War Commemoration Timeline for the attack on Con Thien.
