MILITARY DEVELOPMENTS IN SOUTH VIETNAM l. No major new enemy initiatives have been reported during the past 24 hours in northern I_ Corps. Signal intelligence, however, continues to reflect extensive reconnaissance, maneuvering, and battlefield preparations by North Vietnamese forces against allied positions from Khe Sanh, east across_ - the Demilitarized Zone, and south toward Quang Tri city. 2. Khe Sanh came under light and sporadic mortar attacks and small-scale ground probes against its perimeter defenses the night of 12-13 February. The headquarters elements and as many as eight sub- ordinate regiments of the North Vietnamese Army's 304th and 325 "C" divisions remain in the general area. 3._ Elements of the 325 "C" Divisionfs 101 "D" Regiment southwest of Khe Sanh have sharply inten- sified their reconnaissance reporting on allied heli- . copter movements and artillery firing in support of the base. In other developments, there are indica-_ tions of resupply activity from Laos in support of the 325 "C" Division's 95th Regiment northwest of "' Khe Sanh. g * 4. North Vietnamese artillery and infantry units operating in the central and eastern portions of the Zone are also being heavily resupplied. Since 2 February, the communications of North Viet- namese rear service elements have reflected the move- _ment of large quantities and varying types of am- ' munition to the 164th, 204th, and 184th artillery regiments and to the 270th Regiment. 13 1968 .

  • The 1968 Exhibit Exhibition Walkthrough
    CONTACTS: Lauren Saul Sarah Fergus Director of Public Relations Public Relations Manager 215.409.6895 215.409.6759 [email protected] [email protected] THE 1968 EXHIBIT EXHIBITION WALKTHROUGH The year 1968 reverberates with an awesome power down to the present day. A year of violence and upheaval, of intense political divisions, of wars abroad and wars at home. A year of vivid colors, startling sounds, and searing images. A year that marked a turning point for a generation coming of age. A turbulent, relentless cascade of events that changed America forever. The 5,000-foot exhibition is divided chronologically, by months of the year. Each month is themed around key events to highlight the various political, military, cultural, and social shifts that happened that year—from the height of the Vietnam War and the assassinations of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy, from the bitter 1968 presidential election to the Apollo 8 mission when humans first orbited the moon. Visitors enter the exhibition gallery through a beaded curtain into an alcove that displays each month of 1968 with a brightly-colored icon. Video footage plays while guests take in famous quotes from the year, before entering into the first month. JANUARY: “THE LIVING ROOM WAR” The immensity of the Vietnam War came crashing into American living rooms in 1968 as it never had before. On the night of January 31—during a cease-fire for Tet, the Vietnamese New Year’s feast—North Vietnamese forces launched a series of bold surprise attacks, striking hundreds of military and civilian targets throughout South Vietnam, including the U.S.

Military Developments: Communist battal~ ion and regimental size units continue to operate in Cambodian territory (Paras. 1-5). It is clear that North Vietnamese forces have had bases in the Cam­ bodian salient since mid-1965 (Paras. 6-8). The salient, however, has never been one of the major Communist base areias .in Cambodia (Paras. 9-12). A 3.3(h)(2) Cambodian~-----~ reports Communist units in South Vietnam are receiving Chinese arms and ammuni­ tion from Cambodian stocks (Paras. 13--16) . More reports have been received on Cambodian rice sales to the Corru:nunists (Paras. 17-20). Cambodian smug­ glers are supplying explosive chemicals to the Viet Cong (Para. 21). II. Poli ti cal Developments: Sihanouk"' con­ cerned over possible allied action against Communists in Cambodia for sanctuary, has reverted to diplomacy to settle the cris:is (Paras. 22-27).

POLITICAL SITUATION The task force established to cope with civilian aspects of the current n crisis is apparently beset with serious difficulties because of internal bickering - and the insistence of many members on .u tying up operations in bureaucratic red tape. There appears to be an increasing groundswell in favor of amending the constitution to allow Vice President Ky to serve concurrently as prime minister, but Ky is turning aside for the moment any consideration of consolidating his power. The National Assembly is showing a willingness to cooperate with the government in clearing up the crisis, after an initial round of severe criticism from the Upper House.

  • The Vietnam War
    Fact Sheet 1: Introduction- the Vietnam War Between June 1964 and December 1972 around 3500 New Zealand service personnel served in South Vietnam. Unlike the First and Second World Wars New Zealand’s contribution in terms of personnel was not huge. At its peak in 1968 the New Zealand force only numbered 543. Thirty-seven died while on active service and 187 were wounded. The Vietnam War – sometimes referred to as the Second Indochina War – lasted from 1959 to 1975. In Vietnam it is referred to as the American War. It was fought between the communist Democratic Republic of Vietnam (North Vietnam) and its allies, and the US-supported Republic of Vietnam in the south. It ended with the defeat of South Vietnam in April 1975. Nearly 1.5 million military personnel were killed in the war, and it is estimated that up to 2 million civilians also died. This was the first war in which New Zealand did not fight with its traditional ally, Great Britain. Our participation reflected this country’s increasingly strong defence ties with the United States and Australia. New Zealand’s involvement in Vietnam was highly controversial and attracted protest and condemnation at home and abroad. A study of New Zealand’s involvement in the Vietnam War raises a number of issues. As a historical study we want to find out what happened, why it happened and how it affected people’s lives. This war meant different things to different people. The Vietnam War was, and still is, an important part of the lives of many New Zealanders.

A spokesman for the Vietnamese Confederation of Labor announced on 15 January that affiliated unions had been given a go-ahead for new walkouts today and that some categories of workers had already gone on strike . There are, however, some indications that the gov­ ernment may agree to release the six labor leaders arrested on 11 January. This could pave the way for settlement of the strikes.
