FIRE SUPPORT COORDINATION

1. GENERAL a. Changes in Forces and Operational Area. During the period 1-15 April 1968, the 1st ACD had responsibility for the entire SCOTLAND AO and a significant portion of the LANCASTER AO for the conduct of Operation PEGASUS. Accordingly, the Arc Light, air and artillery fires in support ofihis operation are not included in the 3d Marine Division fire support operations for the reporting period. b. Command Emphasis. In the employment of artilleryzemphasis continues on the selection of the number of rounds and type fuze appropriate to the target under attack.

c. Renorting of Information. The Division Fire Support Information Center (FSIC) continued effor-s to improve the curacy and timeliness in reporting fire support information. Improvement in the accuracy of fire support information is reflected in the increased use of the FSIC as the source of data to prepare reports for internal Division use and for reporting to higher headquarters. d. Application of Data Processing Technique. FSIC revised the fire support information coding system and extensively revised the computer programs. Three weeks operation under the new system indicates that it meets FSCC requirements and is responsive to other using units. The fire support data collected by FSIC is now transmitted on magnetic tapes by AUTODIN from Phu Bai to FMFPAC DPI, via Force L6gistics Command, Da Nang. This transmission of fire support data establishes a nermanent magnetic tape file at FLC, Da Nang and FMFPAC. 2. SIGNIFICANT EVENTS a. Munition expenditures

(2) NGF and air support were ?redominantly allocated to the area in and north of the D.TZ, Artillery support was fired south of the DMZ 78% of the time.

(3) H&I expenditures increased somewhat, in an effort to curtail infiltration and night movement of •VA forces. Of all artillery fires, more than half were H&I fires.

(4) Air missions south of the DMZ were about evenly distributed between TPQ or CAS/DAS. To the north the TPQ method of attack was utilized on 90% of the missions,

3. a, Data Processing. The limited core storage of the 1401 system and the poor flexibility of punch card records have required the nrocessing of fire suoport data in a manner which have not met all 7SIC rea1iirements. The 3d Marine Division lSIC is investigating the oossibility of support from the I9M 360 at Porce Lo!istics Command, Da Nang if DPP i1lO comnuter canabllity is insufficient for FSIC requirements.

b. Use of Visual Aids, A Pire Distribution Overlay nrenared from the data nroduced by one of the com-uter pnogr?ms is used to monitor the listribution of sunnorting arms 9 ires.

By isolating areas which do not receive a -re s cri~bed_i• i _ fi~mp sunnort, attention- is focuvaed on ''ose areas to dete~nine the reason for lack of fires and to be -i4ven rloser scrutiny by observation agencies to determine if t1-e area contairrwell camouiaiged installations and fortifications.

CIVIL AFFAIRS

I. RevolutApp#yy DeyelpVmept a. The Revolutionary Development Program in Quang Tri Province made uneven progress during the month of April. ARVN security, the aipp aua non to the program, was generally inadequate due to the location of battalions in close defense of Quang Tri City. Although a partial reoccupation of the RD areas by two ARVN battalions took place, their tendency to leave the field at night prevailed. General area security also decreaded as the result of the departure of the let Cavalry Division' (Airmobile). This move gave the enemy easier access to Base Area 101, the coastal lowlands and the fringes of the RD priority areas. Consequently, enemy aggressiveness and har- rassment of the RD Cadre increased. Furthermore, the revised 1968 RD plan is too timid in scope. Hence, because of the general lack of security for previously pacified hamlets, many of the hamlets improved upon by the 1967 program have lost ground without contest. b. However, several worthwhile accomplishments have somewhat offset the security problem. Considerable security is' provided by encouragingly dedicated and aggressive RF, FF and RD defense units. Indeed, in contrast to the ARVN battalions tasked with the defenee of the RD Cadres, all RD teams stay in their hamlets at night. Another balancing factor in the security equation is the training of an additional 251 individuals (only 51 armed due to a lack of weapons) for hamlet self-defense,groups. In addition to this improvement, there was a successful attack on the infrastructure during April. The RD Cadre captured 13 and killed 10 VO while suffering only 3 killed. The infrastructure is believed to be largely impor- ted rather than indigenous to the RD areas, a fact in itself which describes a condition of some stability if not pacifica- tion. Complementipg these gains, the RD Cadre held well organized town meetings and initiated numerons self-help projects despite the tactical situation. Lastly, three Truong Son (Montagnard) Cadre Groups were at work at Cam Lo at the end of April assisting the Brou refugees. II. Divistop Civil Affpipp/COyic Act$9p

a. Agriculture. Demonstrations of a time-saving rice threshing machine has resulted in an impressive amount of interest throughout the province. In fact, District Chiefs have placed more orders for threshers than the number available. A total of 51 machines will be loaned by G-5 to farmers for the harvest season and, at the end of the harvest in June, the farmers will have the option of returning them or buying them for 3, 500 $VN each.

c. Graves Removal. Quang Tri Combat Base. At the end of the month, the Quang Tri Province ftief finally issued the order to remove graves from 500 grave sites to permit the expansion of the southwestern portion of the perimeter.

d. TET Agaression Relief Project (TARP). Total 3d Marine Division contributions to TARP were 636,688 $VN, Distribution on the following basis has been recommended: 150,000 $VN to the 3d Marines; 282,000 $VN to the 4th Mar- ines and 204,688 to the 9th Marines. These monies will be spent on the purchase of rice for the Brou Refugees, various civic action projects at the Cam Lo Refugee Center and the presentation of money to two hamlets in the 3d Marines' AOR that were particularly hard hit during the TET aggression. e. Personal Response Program. The 12th Division Personal Response Program Course was held on 22 April with twenty officers (four field grade) and twenty staff non-commissioned officers in attendance. In addition, eleven hours of instruction were given to 140 personnel in the field. One battalion was visited to help establish personal response instruction within the unit. Over 1,000 Personal Response Handbooks and other Personal Res- ponse materials were distributed to 30 battalions and ,regimental headquarters during the month. f. MEDCAPS/DENTUAPS. A total of 2,303 MEDCAPS and DENT- CAPS were conducted during April, with the majority of units having not yet reported their MEDCAPS and DEN APS. g. Logistics. Transportation was provided through G-5 for GVN and CORDS refugee support. In addition, some civic action commodities were delivered to the Cdm Lo Refugee Center from the Quang Tri Combat Base.

h. Civic Action Pro.lects

This is the Spring Transitional priod of h Indo-China Monsoon. Me monthly preoIpitation for April and May is three inches occurinrg durig ain average of 10 days of rain in each month. Thunderstorms occur during a average of 5 days in April and inorease to an average of 2 1 days in ay.

Cloud covr averages 60" but 20 or more days per month generally fvorable for low level air operations (oeilings 2,00 feet, visibility 3 miles). Temperatures in April range from a mean high of 85 to a mean low of 70

and will generally increase 5 in May to a mean high and low of 90 and

75 respectively. M~IBILV~T

M•mring fog in mountain valleys along the northeast coast and near

ajor lowland rive~s occasionally restriots visibility to less than

5 miles durIag morning hours.

1. General. The are is located appix1sttely seven (7) miles south of Quang Tri City. Foothille, hills, ad low moeuntains constitute its topography.

SiOREr 2. Relief. The foothills extend inland fas Natlonal Route #1, for an average distance of 4 miles, characterized by mild slopes and low rolling hills forming numerous complex compartments. Ground elevation averages from sea level at Highway I to 50 meters at the base of the foothills.

The transition to h$llssis moderate, Ridgelines of the mountains generally lie on a W - NE axis. Progressing toward the SW, terrain becomes increasingly dissected and rough. Small intermittent and perennial streams abound in narrow valleys and ravines.

3. Drainage. The drainage network features 3 river aystems flowing northeast. These rivers which divide the area ares

The areas contigious to streams au rivers ar. more thiokly vegetated and are predominately thickets of bamboo &W bruhn 5. surfawe Katerial. The soil is a fine gralned clVey sAlt of shallow depth over a base of shale, sandstone, and conglomerate limestone. It is commonly firmi b~t briefly airy following rains. 6, Cover and Concealment.

a Some oover from direct fire weapon is obtained from the low rolling hills. Rovevsr# the SE - SW axis of the predominate ritdgeline and the relatively few o4nificant land forms along avenues of sp,roach cause cover from direct fir*e weapons to be considered poor to fair throughout most of the area.

b. Concealment is limited by low brush In the piedmont and rated as poor for troops and vehioles. Prog'ssing i•nto the higher areas eoncealment of troops is oconsidered good and is afforded by higher graselands and more aOndant vegetation,

7, oQbservation and Pieldsa of Fire.

a, The piedmont offers excellent bse?rvation and fields of fire

eoasionally restricted by thiekeot of low brush. The foothills afford

DECLASSIFIED DECLASSIFIED

good short rarge observation restricted only in areas of elephant grass ansd bruah, Long range observation is generally poor due to the thickly forrested terrain.

b. Fields of fire for indirect fire wespons are excellent throughout the lowlands and geaerally good in the foothills. The prisary restriction is for short raoge indirect fire weapons to attain ask olearaunce in the caopy.

*. Obstacles.

a, Low areas of culti on and vwetlands will restriot cross country movement of vehicles to ridgelines, but fair to good movement can be obtained by troops on foot. In the higher areas, thick forrestation, severe dissection of terrai14 "n moderate slopes will negate vehiaclar traffic and appreciably slow and oanalise troop movements.

b, The extensive drainage network and river system throughout the area will hinder W - SE lateral routes of ecoLoation.

. Avenues of Approach.

a. The area contains numerous seondary roadst, cart tracks, and foot trails throughout the foothis, Those features afford good mobility throughout a setor but are ompoaxmentalised 1y rivers which necessitate aecess to lighwagy I when moving from one secior to another.

Although there is a remote chance that the enemy mlght be able to preserve aeledted vital installations by a successful defenseo friendly firepower and the coat in enemy marnpower would likely be

Judged prohibitive by NVA leadaers. Most likely he will not defend for any apreciable 14mg~th of tiAe, e=sept for instances in which he tactically has no choice or perhaps must protect im•ortant personages trapped by the situation.,

Upon friendly entry, the eneiy has the eapbility of attacking Imediately

at any point that s may 4hoose with an infantry regiment sapported by light artlle*ry and mortars, with another 2-4 battalion in reserve.

The enemy has the -ipability of defending any point within the area

The enomy has the capability of reinforaing his forces in *aseIres

Dismussions The enemy t s initial course of stio will depend in part on the degree of surprise that friendly for.*e attain. If he is alerted to the iVending operation by such indicators as increased rmoon aircraft

(AOts and APDI*), increased Arty/MGW HI fives, Increased B-52 strikes or friendly radio security violations, he will likely begin an iammediat.e and orderly withdrawal. If re ono stVporting ama proep firoes, etop begin shortly beore the attack, the enegmy will pWbably initiate a hasty with- drzwal. If sumprised, he will likely fight a stiff rmeaguard action initially, then *Yade when the tactic4l situation pemits. In any event, his most likely course of action is to delay and withdrsx. VUlnerabilit ieas

The enemnys major vuln*eability is estimated to be his laxge oaches of food ud munitions, which would be difficult to replace if captured or destroyed. Initially these stores *an be located through =-hand information fumiAshed by agents aad later by POW•s and ralliers. Although lessll1kely, friendly search operations may also turn up eao"hes. Friendly esperience during Operation Medina was that eaches were so well hi4den that search forces pauld pass within seveal meters and not see them. Scaue caches pointed out by ralliers were only moters off trails, but, due to the density of the vegetation, we*e extremely difficult to find, This fact wishk

in favor of the eneW deciding to evade friendly forces and pzrhaps attempting

te draw them away from sioh sensitive areas

'nless forced to do otherwise, the enemy habitually uses trails. By so doing# he will be tactically valnerable to preplanned ambusahes and H&I

firea during his Initial outward movoment along trail nets leading away from friendly LZ 's and columns,

Additionally, his logiwtio situation makoes hla vulnerable to

shortages of food and am~ if the f*iendly operation is of a length that

requires him to consu~ie that which he can carry while evading. This is natablpytrue in the case of food. At this point, enemy troops will probably be vulnerable to psychological qperations, which Wy generate ralliere who could furnish Information on eneW plans, casohesa eto,
