Intelligence a. General Enemy Situation. Enemy initiated activity dropped to a very low level in the I Corps Tactical Zone during tl1e month of July, and the majority- of contacts that occurred vere minor and insignificant in nature. Since the latter part of June, intelligence has indicated that the enemy has been planning to commence another major offensive within the I Corps Tactical Zone. Major enemy tactical units avoided large scale ground contact with friendly forc.es, while apparently re training, resupplying, refitting and replacing personnel, and making -general preparations for the "Autumn Attacks of 1968". At the same time the enemy continued his unconventional and psychological warfare efforts in an attempt to maintain pressure on friendly forces, and keep friendly tactical units off balance. The most consistent activity was concentrated in the southern DANANG TiOR and southeastern portion of QUANG HAM Province with minor harassing attacks by fire, small scale probing actions, wide spread use of mines and booby traps, and terrorist incidents characterizing enemy initiated activity during the month. Allied logistical bases and friendly installations in the northern portions of QUANG TRI Province and along the DMZ continued to be favorite targets of enemy artillerymen. However, incoming decreased in this area during the month, and it appeared that the enemy relied on the accuracy of close-in forward observer teams to direct fires on these friem.ly installations while conserving ammunition for future, large-scale offensive action. The heaviest contact of the month occurred just south of KHE SANH on the 1st of July when I/3/4 USMJ killed 169 NVA, and captured 48 individual and 24 crew-served weapons. Inasmuch as this contact occurred about the time the KHE SANE Combat Base was being closed, it was viewed as an attempt on the part of the enemy to make the withdrawal from the combat base appear more like a retreat than a planned retrograde movement. Activity continued in the northeastern portion of the province, although most of this activity was light and sporadic. A. '. significant contact occurred four kilometers southeast of GIO LINH on 5 July when 0/1/3 USMO killett 134 enemy and captured six ?WIS. Two of these PW's identified their unit as the 1st Battalion, 1.38th NVA Regiment. While it initially appeared that this was a newly committed regiment replacing the .320th NVA Division, current evidence tends to place it as an augmentatio!,!_ unit subordinate to the .320th Division. There were continued attempts at interdiction of theCUA. vtET River during the month. Several incidents of possible reconnaissance activities were reported, and on 27 July, four 10M boats moored at the mouth of the river received moderate to heavy damage as a result of a suspected sapper attack. This attack was probably carried out by members of the 126th Naval Sapper Regiment, which is known to operate in the north eastern portion of QUANG TRI Province. Friendly helicopter gunshdps, patrolling inland waterways in the coastal lowlands of northeastern I E.NCLOSURE(/l. SECRET DECLASSIFIED DECLASSIFIED < • -- • Corps, continued to engage and sink enemy sampans operating on these re stricted waterways during the hours of darkness. Reports of sightings of unidentified aircraft along the DMZ area continued throughout the month, although there still has been no positive identification of these aircraft. On 20 July, a visual sighting from LZ STUD reported five helicopters flying from CO ROC to K8E SANH, where one helicopter reportedly landed. There were numerous enemy caches of weapons, ammunition and food, as well as many eneII\1 bodies found on the battlefield during the month. In Th"UA THIEN Province, major enemy tactical units remained with- drawn into mountainous regions and aafehaven areas in the western portions of the province during the month. Friendly sweep operations and reconnais sance-in-force operations continued in Base Areas 101 and 114, as well as in the coastal lowlandS areas, but contacts for the IJ1.0st part were negligible. However, there it6re a large number of caches discovered throughout the province during the month. On 25 July, B/5/7th Cavalry' discovered a large hospital area near Base Area 114, and captured a sizeable quantity of IOOdical supplies and equipment. The enemy continued construction work on hio main lOCf S in the western portions of the province during the month, as well as continuing his build-up of the northerll A SHA.u Valley as a major logistical storage point. In QUAJ.'iG NAM Province, while most of the activity in the I Corps Tactical Zone was concentrated in the southern DANANG TAOR and south eastern portion of the province, the majority of this activity was very light. Throughout the month, there continued to be indications of a pending attack on the DANANG TAOR. PW's and captured docuroonts had fre quently men~ioned the date 20 July as a likely target date for the com mencement of the enen:wls "Autumn Campaign". While 20 July passed without incident, nevertheless_ there was a sharp increase in enemy initiated activity during the latter part of the month. The enemy launched numerous, light attacks by fire on friendly installations in the DANANG area on 23 July, as well as limited probing attacks on CAP Units, RF/PF Units, bridge security elements and government resettlement areas in the southeastern portion of the province. large leale, coordinated attacks failea'to materialize, neverthele~s~ aD:d' it appears7that the enemy has :postponed the commencenent of his third major offensive until mid to late August. The most significant contact of the repor~ing period. in the province occurred on 13 July, in Operation RUNG QUANG 1-51, when elem- ents of the 51st ARVN Regiment killed 161 enemy in a contact (AT 005575), five kilometers west of DIm BAN. The most significant terrorist incident in I Corps also occurred in QUANG NAM Province on 24 July when an es- timated enemy company entered the government resettlement village of PHU DA #l (AT 86S491), three and one-half kilometers northeast of AN HCA and burned the entire village to the ground, destroying 200 h0100S and leaving 1200 civilians homeless. The enemy continued to place major emphasis on improving his Jjlajor lOC's in QUANG NAM Province during the month. Road improvements wre noted on Route 614, and heavy construction equipment was observed on Route 14, north of KEIAM DUC. Heavy m emiSsions were detected on 7 and 9 JUly respectively, -iii an area (YD 8436111 , k.::.NCL.OSUREk SFt:Ri~T DECLASSIFIED DECLASSIFIED 'stc ET • • approximately 32 kilometers north-northwest of TRUONG DUq, along the infiltration route leading from Base Area 6CJ7 into south central QUANG NAM, and indicated a heavy now of personnel and material along this route. Increased sampan activity was also noted on the SONG BaTING, SONG vn GI! and SONG CAl, southwest ot THUONG DUG. . . In both QUANG TTIl and QUANG NGAI Provinces, enemy initiated activity remained at an extremely low level during mos t of the month. The major ity of this activity was confined to minor harassing attacks by fire, a' few small scale probing attacks, widespread use of mines and booby traps, and terrorist activities'. Major enemy taCtical units continued in their persistence to avoid large-scale grouni contact, with most of these units remaining withdrawn to secure areas in the western portions of both pro vinces. In QUANG TIN Province, terrorist activities wer~ at a very high level in the eastern coastal areas during the early part of the month, but decreased sharply during the latter two weeks. There has appeared to be a large troop concentration in the Rice Bowl area west of TIEN PHUOC, probably comprised of major tactical elements of the 2d NVA Divi sion, 'Which are no doubt retraining, resupplying, and refitting in pre pa.ri.tion for the enenwts next major offensive. During the latter part of the monbh there was a sh~ increase in activity in QUANG NGAI Province, when the enemy launched numerous, light attacks by fire and small scale probing attacks on RF/PF Units and Revolutionary Development tea.m9 in the eastern coastal areas of the province on 2.3 July. These attacks were launched in conjunction with attacks in southeastern QUANG NAM Province on the same day. Neither side suffered heavy losses,)however, and. the attacks appeared to be an attempt on the part_of the enemy to demoralize these small units and decrease their combat effectiveness. Also, during the latter part of the reporting period there appeared to be a significant southeasterly shift of major enemy tactical units toward Base Area 121, which has increased the threat of a major attack on~UANG NGAI City. There continued to be heavy sampan activity along the SONG TID BON and the SONG TRANH, and road improvements, as well as indications of heavy truck traffic were noted on Routes 14 and 534 in the northwestern portion of the province". The most significant cache of the reporting period in QUANG NGAI Province was discovered by a. friend~ reconnaissance team (BS 280601), 14 kilometers southwest of HA THANH on 18 July, and consisted of four 120mm mortars, 20,000 rounds of small arms ammunition, a complete bicycle repair shop, and 75 biq:cles equipped with cargo carriers. b.

VC propaganda activity during July ENCLOSURE (I ) SECRET DECLASSIFIED DECLASSIFIED .. , .. • increased substantially over that of the preceding period. Prevalent propaganda themes included solicitation of support for the coming "Third" offensive, praise for the NVA/VC victory over U.S. forces at KHE SANE, and continued efforts to destroy the confidence of the people in the aims of the GVN governmenf. Particular emphasis was noted on VC efforts to have families write their relatives in GVN military units requesting that they return home to support the VC cause. While the majority of propaganda was disseminated through lectures in the villages, leaflets, movies, and drama presentations were also observed. (2) TERRORISM. Acts of terrorism decreased during the past month, although individual categories of terrorism fluctuated. While lddnappings decreased by 25 percent, the number of assassinations was five times that reported during June. No pattern of terrorist activity was noted. Possible terrorist activity was averted by the discovery of a sizeable weapons and explosives cache in DANANG City in late Ju.:l.l. (.3) ESPIONAGE AND SABOTAGE. Incidents conearrdng VC espionage con tinued to indicate low level agent activity \(,ith six specific operations reported. The extensive use of youths and prostitutes to collect military information was noted. Of significance was a joint NVA-VC sapper-reconnaissance unit collecting inf'ormation on the TRA MINH Bridge and I Corps Headquarters preparatory to planned sabotage operations. This operation was neutralized. and its members either killed or captured,by a GVN unit. Espionage and planned. sabotage operations appeared to be in support of the anticipated "Third" offensive. e'.

During the month of July, 5,188 weapons were exchanged bringing the total weapons exchanged/issued since December 1967 to 46,241. (3) On 14 July, an M-53 155mm SP Gun of the Third 155 Gun Battery incurred an ammunition malfunction which killed two Marines, injured another two, and rendered the weapon unservice able. The weapon requires -Depot Maintenance and is to be evacuated to CONUS for rebuild under the R&E Program. When the weapon was fired, the projectile exploded approximately 75 meters from the muzzle. The breech of the gun was blown out of the weapon with parts of the breech mechanism being scattered ap proximately 150 meters to the rear of the gun position. The malfunction is under investigation by the 1st Marine Division. As a result of this malfunction, 2,976 155~u gun projectiles and 25,206 PD fuzes have been suspended from use except for combat emergency r~quirements.
