(2) The shortage of office supplies and stationary continuesq foi the ninth coneectutive monthq and is creating serious administrative problems. Although AN/PRC-25 repair parts and accessories are reported as on hand at Force logistics Command, this Division continues tc experience severe shortages of these items. Lack of repair parts, 6TN batteri4 tires, tubes, oxygen and acetylene, continue to hinder the maintenance effort of units of this command.

(1) 5 Septembero One pier of the 135' concrete T beam bridge across the Khe Vuc River between Hue and Phu Bai was destroyed, dropping two spans into the river, The road was closed until 1600, 5 September, when ARVN engin- *rs completed emplacing a light tactical bridge bypass. By the morning of 6 September, a 105' Class 90 M14-6 Bridge was emplaced by 3d Bridge Company, reopenl, the road to all traffic o

(2) 17 September 0 Heavy rains washed out approaches to the floating bridges at Ai Tu and Lai Phuoc between Dong Ha and Quang Trio Between these two bridges a culvert was washed out. North of Dong Ha the road was washed out at one lcction and other sections were under water. The re- openA.. ,of the road was accomplished in a joint effort by ARVNI enginoeers, MCB-11 and the 11th Engineer Battalion. Culverts were replaced and the floating bridges were repaired and lengthened while the approaches were improved. By late September it appeared that the road was prepared to withstand the monsoon except for brief periods after very heavy rains when the floating bridge approaches will be under water and impassable0

(3) 28 September. A Class 60 ferry was installed at An Lo as a bypass for vehicles heavier than Class 16. This ferry was to replace the ford that had become impassable due to the increasg depth of the river.

S(4) Some improvement of Rte #1 was made in mid September when Vietnamese Public Works completed repairs to the bridge north of Hue at Pho Trach, allowing removal of the 195' M4T6 floating bridge previously at that position. HoWever, continued trouble was experienced throughout the month with the 403' flbating bridge just north of Pho Trach at My Chanho This bridge had been damaged by the enemy in August and reduced to Class 23o It is intermittantly impassable when rising water covers the approaches. At the end of the month the 1st ARVN Division and the 3d Marine Division were coordinating a two day period during which the road would be closed to allow ARVN engineers to repair, upgrade and lengthen the bridge0 b. Maintenance of Route #9. Problems on Route #9 come from the same sources as those on Route #1, the enemy and weather, Rains cause a continuous requirement to repair and maintain the many bypasses used by vehicles larger than class 16 between Dong Ha and Thon Son Lamo West of 'lhon Son Lam the road is open to Ca Lu only in good weoather and was closed to Khe Sanh throughout the month, Si nificant events included:

(1) 3 Septembero A 42ý bridge north of Ca Lu was destroyed by th1, enemy0 The bypass is a ford that is only useable in good weather, as a result the road between Thon Son Lam and Ca Lu is cl9sed muTh o te•-meM 0 •• is planned to replace this bridge in October'

1. Rievolqtionary Development a. Thuf-Thien Province. The 1967 Provincial RD plan is progressing in accordance with second semester plans. Projects in most areas are-being completed on schedule with some delays caused by the shortage in certain commodities such as tin roof- ing. These shortages are being filled. Projects in RD,Area I (Huong Tra District) are progressing very well and in some cases projects are ahead of schedule. Progress in the remaining two FI areas is satisfactory. Agricultural and educational programs 4re making progress. Military support for the RD program con- 4nuea to be good. Although there has been an overall increase of enemy activity-within the province, the number of enemy incidents directed specifically against RD Cadre teams has decreased. Political problems involving RD Cadre, The Revolutionary,Dai Viet Party, and the present government that threatened the RD program in early September have passed and the program is again proceed- ing ahead. Two new RD teams (16 and 17) were formed from Cadres returning from Vung Tau and have been assigned to ADM GIA LE CHANIH, Huong Thuy District and consolidated hamlet, AN GIA, Quang Dien District.

b. Quang Tri Province (1) General. The most significant development within the RD program during September was the movement of some of the teams to their second semester hamlets. Five teams were moved so far in September and it was planned to move six more at the end of the-month. The movement indicates the completion of the first semester hamlets and provides clear evidence of the progress of the teams. In terms of the 1967 calendar year, the RD program is several months behind the planned schedule. It should be re- called that the Quang Tri RD program was almost at a complete stop in May. The progress throughout the summer months has been remarkable.

(2) Security. The security within the RD areas continues 'to e adequate. There were no serious contacts in September, more importantly, there has been no reported VC activity in the first semester hamlets that the teams have left. There are no armed self-defense groups in the recently evacuated RD hamlets. The teams had trained a self-defense group in each hamlet, but as of this writing they have not been armed. There are various opinioAs on arming these civilians. At present, it cannot be predicted with assurance what the final policy will be. It is possible, however, that these civilians will not be armed. Three ARVN bat- Enclosure (1) SECRET-

talions remain within the RD area and they continue to provide the neededmanpower. The anticipated increase in CAC units will greatly aid in the security of the RD area and their ar- rival is awaited by everyone concerned. In fact, some seem to believe that they will be the answer to all the security problems. (3) New RD Chief. A new ARVN Major has been appointed as the Quang Tri RD Chief to replace Mr. VINH. Mr. VINH has been the acting Chief since Captain CAN was killed in August. This change should help provide better leadership for the teams.

(4) Visit of Senator Thomas KUCHEL. Senator KUCHEL's vi6it on 22 September proved to be both informative and interest- ing. ge stated that his reason for visiting the RD team involved was because Of his con*ictin that the RD program was not getting attention on the Ameriqan"political scene 0 He wanted to learn enough *0 be able to inform the American public about the program. When he visited'the hamlet, all of the leaders were there to meet him. It is believed that the leaders enjoyed meeting a United States Senator as much as Senator KUCHEL seemed to enjoy talking to them. Generally it was believed that the Senator enjoyed his visit and that he obtained some uqeful knowledge.

The above five teams have moved. There is still some question on the exact locations to which the remaining RD teams will move.

(6) Percentage of 1967 RD Plan Completed, The 1967 plan has now been modified so much that it is impossible to determine the exact status of the program in judging it against the old plan. By the end of the month- all of the first semester hamlets . should be pompleted with the exception of two. This means that approximately 90% of the first half of the 1967 plan has been completed. 1This is the only figure that can be quoted with any degree of certainty. t (7) VC Contact, The only RD casualties this month were the result of a VC ambush. Three RD Cadre were boating down a -ýiver to visit some friends when the VC ambushed them from a river bank (YD '308586). One RD worker was killed and two were wounded'. Enclosure (1) SECRET

(8) Summary° During the past four months in Quang Tri, the RD program appears to have shown a steady upward trend during the entire period. ARVN security has finally become effective° More importantly, the ARVN attitude toward RD has improved. It is considered that the RD program has provided many people with their first positive dealings with the GVNo With the recent team movements, the program faces a critical turning point0 If iz can expand to new hamlets, the RD program will be able to meet the test and will be able to provide the foundation for real government within the province.

2° Elec.t.ons 0 The election campaign for Presidential and Senat.rial candidates was consumated on 3 September 1967. The local population suffered harassment, abductions and assassinations at the hands of the C09 but still exercised their right to vote. U.So military installations also came under attack during the period, evidently in an attempt to discredit our ability to protect the people0 Results of the election were as follows' PROVINCE NUMBER OF NUMBER VOTED PERCENTAGE ELIGIBLE VOTERS Quang Tri 107,280 909789 84.6 Thua Thien 2379987 1939239 80.8%

These figures are unofficial at present because the GVN has ai- nounced that it will publish the official figures in October 1967. USFWAF were restricted in their activities during the election period from 29 August to 4 September 1967o This restriction included a strict ban on military personnel from the polling areas during the period 022000H to_040800H September 1967. It is too early yet to predfbt the effect the election will have on the Vietnamese political situation° However, it can be said that a great deal of interest and feeling-waspresent during the period preceeding the election. The RD teams in both provinces supported the elections to the maximum extent possible as did ARVN military units. Much tension was evident, particularly in Quang Tri Prov- ince, between these two organizations in support of their respec- tive candidates.

3o Division Civil Affairs/Civic Action

-ao Agriculture. Agriculture activity during the month cen- tered around the dispersion of rice machines and observation of seven pig projects. 30 rice threshing machines were loaned to villages in the Phu Bai CAAOR and in the Phong Dien District0 '.Aiother 13 machines have been sold outright to farmers who want to fiave their own maehines for the Fall 1967 harvest 0 The rice machine was demonstrated to farmers in five villages. The loaned machines were provided the farmers under contract specifying tor the return-of the machines after the Fall 1967 harvest, or the paymeat of 3500 VN$ to buy another mrachine for the village.

b. MEDCAPS. In an attempt to obtain better coordination of MEDCAP teams in the Phu Bai area, the 3d Medical Battalion has been given the responsibility for directing the activities of each team. In conjunction with the Huong Thuy District Health Chief, a hospital is being constructed in Huong Thuy District for the treatment of Vietnamese civilians from the Phu Bai area who do not require hospitalization in the Provincial Hospital in Hue,

co Logistics, The shortage of tin and cement in Thua Thien Pro4ince delayed the construction efforts of some units in the Phu Bi3 a-ceao Only 500 bags of cement and no quantities of tin were received this month. County Fair commodities consisting of rices, salad oil and soap wire supplied to 4th Marines and 2d Battalion, 26th Marines for planned operations this month. The Division expended 100,000 VN$ from Free World Military Civic Action Funds for Vietnamese Childrens' Day Festival gifts on 18 September 1967. Marine Corps Civic Action Officers and Combined Action platoons in the Phu Bai- Dong Ha and Khe Sanh areas were supplied with these gifts for the childrens' parties held in their areas.

G-1 BRIEFING NARRATIVE

Good morning General KRULAK0

This morning we would like to quickly indicate our current personnel picture by major functional category, to indicate how this picture has changed since your last visit, and the directions in which we anticipate it will continue, In addition we will introduce a problem which we need external help to solve. When you were here in the last part of June we had about 89% of our authorized officers and 101% of our authorized enlisted men.

Since that time the situation has deteriorated slightly.

This chart depicts the functional category personnel status as of last Thursday night, aTd indicates that although the officer strength has risen slightfy we have had a decrease to about 97% of our enlisted strength compared to the pre-August Divisional authorization. We have not yet completed our own M/L breakouts so we have indicated functional MiL's that do not total all personnel authorized to the reinforced-Division for 1st and 2d Quarter of FY68. As we recover from the severe August rotational pro4lem and build towards the full 2d Quarter authorization, we antifdpate being able to fill all units substantially to T/0.

The inclusion of about 800 "B" billets in our total M/L authorization should allow us the flexibility to maintain functional balance when experiencing infantry operational attrition.

The current average on oard strength for OCC Fld 03 in the rifle companies is *13/1?o,15 ; the present average effective strength is V,//77 -

The 11th Engineer Battalion departed CONUS in November of last year. As a consequence all members of the original battalion, still in the Division, have the same rotation month of December. These men, with other Engineer 0CC Fld men, total 45 officers and 628 enlisted men. These losses in percent of authorized strength in the 0CC Fld are approximately 65% officer and 36% enlisted. We feel this would lead to an unacceptable drop in engineering capability, even if all losses were replaced in December. We will ask for external help to smooth this problem.

In summary sir, although we are somewhat below total authorized strength now, we anticipate that unless we experience heavier casualties, we will be brought to end 2d Quarter M/L by the end of December. We will need soaie assistance to maintain a steady rotational flow for our engineer OCC Fld personnel.

BRIEFING OUTLINE

I. PURPOSE. To review Enlisted Occupational Field 03 status and present programs designed to increase present for duty strengths.

II. MAIN IDEAS

A. This command is authorized a manning level of 10,593 enlisted in OF 03. As of 22 August the on rcll strength of 03s was 10,107. Of this figure 9,032 were effective and performing duties in their MOSo The 1,075 non-effective 03s are included in the recapitualtion of Division total non-effectives listed below. A separate tabulation for 03s is not isolated as such. These figures include all occupational fields, with 79% of the total in OF 03,

R&R 609 Leave (emergency, special, annual) 210 TAD, TEMADD., and DUINS 32 Hospitalized 656 Unauthorized absence 3 Brig 47

B. In addition to the above listed non-effectives we have 155 enlisted personnel in Occupational Field 03 with Category 3 PUILHES, making them unfit for field duty. These personnel cannot be carried as non-effective, since they do perform useful functions in security billets or in other supporting assignments and relieve qualified 03s for field duty.

C. On 21 August this command received the first increment of 68 personnel who were retrained by CG 9thMAB as 03s. Those 68, plus 101 more received on 25 and 26 August were assigned a secondary MOS in OF 03 and are being utilized in the rifle companies.

III. SUMILARY AND CONCLUS ION

A. A continued effort is being made to keep administrative rear areas and H&S Company strengths to a minimum. Maximum strength limitations have been imposed and enforced. Each week unit commanders report their rear area strengths and give justification for the number of personnel employed therein. Commanders also report the on board strengths of H&S Companies. These strengths are closely monitored by this Headquarters.

B. Every effort is being made, and will continue to be made, to reduce the number of man days required to accomplish routine administrative time spent for medical, dental anc other types of administrative assistance that is required. This includes immediate helo-lifts for personnel returning to duty from hospital ships.

DECLASSIFIED DECLASSIFIED 0 0

C. Personnel with Category 3 PULHES and personnel with MOSs in which we are overstrength are being utilized to fill T/O billets in Security Platoons, the MP Company and other guard type billets. These assignments enable qualified 03s to perform field duty in their MOS. Personnel with temporary PULBES 3 are closely monitored to ensure they are returned to rifle companies as soon as they are found physically qualified. Every effort is being made to keep the maximmum number of our 03s in forward areas and in our rifle companies.

I. SUBJECT: Personnel Accounting System Input Errors

II. FACTS

A. May report: 1075 erroneous items/30328 total items for an error rate of 3.5%.

B. June report: 864 erroneous items/25375 total input items for an error rate of 3.4%.

III. DISCUSSION: In anticipation of the first monthly report of erroneous and late input data to Personnel Accounting System submitted by organizations of 3d Marine Division, a Division directive was published to assist unit commanders and supervisory personnel in understanding the system being employed in tallying errors and computing error percentages. A list of the most common errors detected by the Division Administration Assistance Team was attached as an enclosure. Also, administrative personnel representing each Division unit were familia',ized with the report at a PAS Seminar conducted at III MAF on 1 july 1967.

IV. ACTION TAKEN

A. Upon receipt of the May report on 22 July 1967, corre- -- spondence was prepared for the Commanding General2s signature Scommending those units with less than 1% error rate. For those ----- units maintaining a percentage error between 1% and 3%, respec- •5T0c= e$ "•ve.. tive Commanding Officer were directed to effect a system to _o• LL reduce the error percentage to the acceptable less than 1%. F or those units with an error rate of over 3%, Commanding Officers were directed to give the matter their personal attention and-to devise a system that will ensure improvement of the accuracy and timeliness of information submitted for entry into the Personnel Accounting System. Additionally, Commanding Officer's of those units having an error rate above 1% were directed to inform this headquarters of their plan of action to reduce error percentage. All replies have been received indicating aw ete system has been established to improve the quality of personnel accounting

B. Upon receipt of the June report, a Division Bulletin was issued to permit unit commanders to compare their results with other units. Again, individual letters were addressed to unit commanders of units that either failed to show an improvement or whose error percentage for the month of June was greater that that listed on the May report. Additionally, congratulatory letters were forwarded to those unitscontinuing to show superior performance and to those units that shiowed a marked improvement over the May report.o • ••- L

DECLASSIFIED DECLASSIFIED

C. Technical/Administrative Inspections of all Division units are now being conducted. The administrative inspectors have been directed to devote more time and assistance in the area of personnel accounting. Also, Fleet Marine Force, Pacific, directs liaison visits of Data Processing Platoon #16 personnel with reporting units. Twelve Division units were tLsited during the month of July and six have been visited so far during the month of August. The Division also has an Administrative As- sistance Team that.monitors copies of unit diaries submitted to DPP #16 and renders assistance to units having problems in any area of personnel administration.

V. RECWMENDATIONS: None.

VI. ACTION REQUIRED BY HIGHER HEADQUARTERS: None.

POSITION PAPER

I. SUBJECT: Reenlistment and Retention.

II. FACTS

A. The Id Marine Division Career Advisory consists of one Major, 2 SNCO and 1 clerk typist. Within all units of the Division there is assigned one officer, on an additional duty basis, as the Career Advisory Officer and one SNCO on a Primary duty basis, as the Career Advisory NCO.

B. A Mobile Career Advisory Team, consisting of the 2 SNCO's frcn Division Career Advisory Office, visits units continually to assist in the "nit's career advisory program; to check on office management and directives; and, to accertain whether reenlistment interviews are being conducted.

C. During April 1967, a Division Career Advisory School was conducted for all Unit Career Advisory NCC'* Instructors from FMFPac Forward assisted. Another school is ~planned for October 1967.

D. Each month, 2 Career Advisory NCOR are selected to at- tend a one week course of instruction in Career Advisory functions at Hq, FXFPac Forward.

E. Division reenlistment 2verage by month is as follows:

1st Termers Career Jan 29.0 lnO.0 Feb l8.0 83,3 Mar n-.8 90.0 Apr 38.8 70.0 May 30.6 78.0 Jun 38o2 86.9 Jul 20.8 78.6

F. A monthly report is submitted to CIVIC indicating reenlistment results for the preceding montho F. A Career Advisory Booth will be placed at the 3d Marine Division Exchange, Phu Bai, during the month of October.

III. DISCUSSION

A. During the month of April 1967, a Division Career Ad- visory School was conducted at 3d Marine Division Headquarters. It was noted that the reenlistment percentage for 1st termers and career personnel increased as a result of this school. Since June there has been a downward trend and it is believed that this is the result of losing good Career Advisory personnel

DECLASSIFIED DECLASSIFIED

due to rotation and the assignment of rela[ively inexperienced personnel to the Career Advisory Program. We will conduct a Division level Career Advisory School to provide the necessary knowledge for unit Career A(ivisors. Unit Career Advisors have ee- ported that the previouS school was worth while and have requested that these schools be condu ted periodically.

B. Mobile Teams sent out frcm the Division Career Advisory Office indicate command interest; call attention to men approaching interview time; indoctrinate leaders on career advisory procedures. These teams have a positive influence on reenlistments.

IV. ACTION BEING TAKEN

A. A Division-level Career Advisory School will be conducted in October. Assistance will be requested of the Career Advisory Office, Hq, FMFPac Forward. B. We will increase Division Mobile Teams and where,er possible additional Marines assigned a PULHES 3 classific 'on will be used.

V. RECQMMENDATION: That more enlisted personnel be assigned to Career Advisory.Schools in CONUS. Recruiters are school gradu- ates to obtain recruits; DIs are school trained to train Marines; but a very few Marines are school trained to keep them. Each command throughout the Marine Corps maintaining a strength com- parable to an infantry battalion should have one school trained Career Advisor assigned.

POS IT ION PAPER

I. SUBJECT: Effects of substitution for 03s in Security Billets.

II. FACTS

A, The security billets of this command, which include MP Company, are currently being filled by personnel from MOSs in which an overage exists in this command, Category 3 PUILES, and a limited number of personnel in Occupational Field 03 whose attrition takes place within 60 days due to rotation in August and September. As these personnel rotate they are replaced by individuals with PULHES or personnel in MOSs in which an overage exists.

B. In addition to the personnel assigned to T/O Security billets and MP Company on 30 June 1967, 189 personnel with overstrength MOSs were reassigned from supporting units to the Infantry Battalions for duties as CP security, convoy security and other supporting billets to enable qualified 03s to be assigned to duty with rifle compan es.

III. DIBCUSSION: The utilization of personnel assigned Category 3 Physical profiles in security type billets has proven successful with no detriment to security evidenced. In all such assignments, the limiting factor of the individual PULHES is closely monitored to insure that the disability involved is physical only. Many such assignments are of personnel recently returned to duty fram wounds received and, though they remain presently unfit for further combat, are highly motivated Marines. Per- sonnel not capable of performing duty in a line company due to the requirements far prolonged marching or other hard physical exertion are; for the most part, completely capable of standing gate watches, participating in motor roving patrols or manning the static positions inherent in command post security. The utilization of personnel in MOSs4 in which a pronounced overage exists is considered to be good personnel management. While some oveiages such as OF 13 can best be utilized -wthin their OF due to the type and quantity of work involved, 8ther MOSs such as 2141 have only a limited requirement for their skills. These personnel are being utilized in security billets. Such personnel will be reemployed within their MOSs as normal attrition occurso The use of both personnel with Category 3 PULHES and those with overstrength MOSs not only releases qualified personnel in OF 03 for assignment to rifle companies but also keeps the personnel concerned employed in useful and productive billets.

IV. ACTION BEING TAKEN

A. Action is taken on a continuing basis to fill vacancies in security billets with personnel from overage MOSs and Category 3 PUIEES.

TAB D

DECLASSIFIED DECLASSIFIED

B. In cases where overage MOSs are utilizedlit is planned to periodically rotate these personnel in order for them to re- tain proficiency in their primary MOS.

V. RECOMM4ENDATIONt It is recommended that this command be provided with sufficient personnel having additional 03 MOS to com- pensate for operational or rotational deficiencies in effective OF 03 strength.

0G-2 Briefing Narrative 0 I. Purpose. To brief the Commanding General, Fleet Marine Force Pacific, on the enemy situation in the Third Marine Division area of responsibility.

II. Narrative. The Third Marine Division continues to remain in contact with the elements of 3 NVA Divisions, 2 NVA Battalions, 6 VC Main Force Battalions, and numerous local force companies. The 3 divisions are operating through the IKZ and west of Khe Sanh under the control of the IKZ.Front. ~aemy forces in the southem portion of the area are directed by the Northern Front Headquarters which may have been upgraded to division status.

Elements of 4 to 5 regiments are positioned in the Con Thien- Gio Linh area with preponderance of forces - approximately 7 battalions- located in the area of Con Thien. These battalions are deployed in and south of the IZ1 to the north, northwest, and southwest of Con Thien. Their activity is directed at reconnais- saunce on all sides of Con Thien as well as infiltration to the south in the direction of Dong Ha and Cam Lo. The enemy's actions and dispositions in this area indicate a capability to attack Con Thien and Gio Linh as well as an ability to defend and counter- attack against an attack on our part into the EZ.

Attempts to interdict lines of communication have taken place during the past 45 days. Two convoys were attacked while moving south on route # 9 below the Rockpile. Mining incidents and harassing attacks have been numerous on Cumberland Route # 5470

The enemy is active in counterreconnaissance around Khe Sanho Numerous low-level agent reports disclose an NVA high priority target is the near by Lang Vei Special Forces CIDG Camp.

The enemy designated Tri Thien-Hue region south of the Gua Viet River is the scene of aggressive anti=government activity. Elements of the 6th and 9th(aka th) Regiments are striving to meet their rice requisition goals in preparation for the monsoon season. These organizations are hampered by personnel and equipment shortages due to losses suffered in engagements with the 1st ARVN Division. The primary enemy mission in this region is population control,

Local force companies are working jointly with main force and NVA Battalions in an accelerated program to disrupt the campaigning for the September presidential/senatorial elections. A complete boycott is the desired objective. To achieve this end, intimidatiorý terrorism, sabotage, assasination of candidates and election officials and general harassment of voters, polling places, and officials, are being used. Ground attacks and shelling of district headquarters, security outposts on roads and bridges, RD cadres and refugee hamlets are an integral part of the master plan. Large scale attacks on the population centers of Quang Tri and Hue and ARVN and Allied military installations by main force units have been ordered to achieve a "Victory" for propaganda purposes. However, fear of heavy losses and propaganda backlash is expected to keep these attacks to a minimum.

DECLASSIFIED DECLASSIFIED

The following points summarize the enemy situation in the Quang Tri-Thua Thien Provinces,

a. Regular NVA units are deployed in and south of the IDMZ. Active reconnaissance is being conducted against the Con Thien and Gio Linh outposts while a counterreconnaissance effort is being implemented within the MZ and around Khe Sanh.

b . 1aemy forces operating out of Hai Lang Forest, Base Area 114, and Truoi Mountain areas are collecting rice for the monsoon season,

c. Disruption of the September elections is the immediate goal within the Tri Thien-Hue Region. A program of propaganda and intimidation of voters is underway.

ao SLF BRAVO, TG 79.5 (BLT 2/3)

(1) TG 79.5 was made available for operations in Northern ICTZ on 20 July 1967 and conducted Operation BEAR CHAIN in the My Chanh area during the period 20 July through 26 August 1967. Operation BEAR CHAIN was an amphibious operation including both surface and heleborne landings in the My Chanh area in coordination with Operation FREMONT. Search and destroy operations were conducted in the My Chanh area subsequent to the landings. Friendly and enemy casualties were not reported by CTG 76 0 5. Tactical amphibious withdrawal was completed upon termination of BEAR CHAIN on 26 July 1967.

(2) TG 79.5 again conducted an amphibious landing, Opera- tion KANGAROO KICK, in the My Chanh area during the period 31 July though 3 August 1967. This operation was a heleborne landing in coordination with Operation FREMONT. Beginning on 3 August 1967,9 BLT 2/3 provided security for Camp Evans for a period of three days. On 4 August 1967, 4th Marines assumed OPCON of BLT 2/3 and conducted combined search and destroy operations in the Co Bi Thanh Tan area for a period of seventeen days.

OPERATION HIGHRISE

I. PURPOSE, To update information on Operation HIGHRISE

II. DISCUSSION: Operation HIGHRISE, the reduction of enemy installations and troops in the DMZ and NVN by artillery fire, which commenced on 25 February 1967, has continued since the General's last visit. Batteries have -been relieved to provide rest"A the troops and replacement and repair of equipment damaged from enemy counter battery fire. Since the inception of this operation friendly casualties number 69 KIA, 378 WIA. S" ificant equipment losses include 1 155ma Howitzer (SP), 13 trucks, 2350 rounds of ammunition and 2 generators destroyed, and dkmages incurred by 1 8" Howitzer, 9 trucks, 14 trailers, 8 105mm Howitzers, 1 observation tower and numerous bunkers. During this period Gio Linh has received 4h,437 artillery rounds, 2,617 mortar rounds and 79 rockets. In order to reduce damage and casualties and to facilitate contin- uation of our own fires, the batteries at varying times occupy al- ternate positions several kilometers south of Gio linh and return to their primary positions before dark. In addition armored self propelled weapons are utilized for increased protection of gun crews. These procedures allow us to effectively fulfill the mission of Operation HIGHRISE. It has recently been noted that the enemy artillery rarely fires at night in an apparent effort to minimize detection from muzzle flash.

PSYCHOLOGICAL OPERATIONS

I. PURPOSE: To outline recent developments and future plans for Division psychological operations.

II. DISCUSSION:

a. A Kit Carson Scout Screening/Training Class was held in Quang Tri Province during the month of August. This was the second school of this type, the first one being in the month of May in Thua Thien Province. There are now 34 scouts operating with Divi- sion units to include the 3d Reconnaissance Battalion. Plans are for another class in Thua Thien Province during the month of October. The ultimate aim of this program is to provide a minimum of two scouts for every infantry company in the Division.

b. All named operations, regimental TAOROs, the Thu Bai TAOR and the A Shau Valley were supported regularly with psychological operations during this period. Particular emphasis was placed on the A Shau Valley which was targeted daily to capitalize on the bombing and artillery shelling of that area.

c. Increased emphasis was placed on special leaflets, particularly those dealing with ralliers with pictures and messages appealing to their friends to rally.

d. The surface broadcast effort was been increasing steadily since the first of the year. Waterborne operations have been expand- ed to include most of the coast and inland waterways from Phu Loc to the DMZ and parts of the Song Huong and Cua Viet Rivers. Combat speaker teams are attached to the 4th and 26th Marine Regiments with another team based in Dong Ha to support the 3d and 9th Marine Regi- ments and other units in tha;t area. A combat speaker set has been supplied to 2/26 in the Phu Bai area for use by their own personnel. The audio visual team remains in general support of the Division with emphasis on the Phu Bai TAOR. The immediate goal is to get another combat speaker team in the Dong Ha area so both the 3d and 9th Marine Regiments will have their own speaker team. As more personnel and equipment become available, it is planned to have separate teams with Coastal Groups 11, 12 and 13. Coastal Group 12 is currently the only one with a team attached.

TRAINING

I. PURPOSE: To present a synopsis of training.

II. DISCUSSION: Plans are being developed to commence a Division Staff Non-Commissioned Officer's Leadership School approximately 1 October 1967. SNCO'S with good leadership ability and a minimum of six months in the field will be utilized as instructors. The syllabus for the school was developed as a result of information from field reports on problem areas in leadership. Additionally, selected subjects were included to ensure a review of basic leadership doctrine. The syllabus will be updated and reviewed on a continuing basis to ensure that fresh approaches are taken to the varying problem areas. The school will be of five days duration and classes will be conducted in the Division CP arda.

Battalions are being visited with the express purpose of review- ing troop indoctrination and familiari4ation firing plans. References are reviewed and assistance/guidance is offered where needed. Bat- talion programs that do not meet ctiteria standards are discussed in detail with strong emphasis on improvement.

Marksmanship instructors, one FSgt and one GySgt, are continuing their visits to assist units in training with the M-16 rifle. Visits include Compary size units with infantry battalions. All battalion size units have had formal instruction followed by application under supervision.

Formal classes on the Starlight Scope have been conducted during August for selected personnel from all Division units. These classes, sponsored by III NAF, were conducted in PHU BAI and DONG HA. Ad- ditionally, a team from the 3d Division is now visiting all units to ensure proper use of the Starlight Scope by providing back-up information and instruction on deployment.

The Division training officer has visited the majority of units within the 3d Division and has discussed instructor capability on his Staff visits. As a result of these visits and scheduled weekly training inspections, problem areas are being c•&9 "t•d

The Division continues to fill quotas for in and out of country schools. Attendance figures for all schools for the past seven months are as follows:

TYPE TOTAL ATTENDANCE

-In Country 1,522

Out of Country 515

The Division has developed a pocket size Combat Leaders' checklist; a hand bood that will provide the small unit leader with a pocket size reference for planning, executions and reporting areas that are most troublesome. The original draft was submitted to CG FMFPac requesting assistance in publication. Once published the book will be distributed down to squad leader level.

Plans are now in process to develop quick fire shooting tech- niques as a measure to increase marksmanship within the 3d Marine Division. A pilot unit, for infantry and reconnaissance units stationed in PHU BAI, will test these methods within the next two weeks. If sabisfactory results are obtained, emphasis on this technique of shooting will be made throughout the Division.

I. SUBJECT . OPERATION DYE MARKERS PHASE 1.

II, FACTS-

The mission of constructing the Dye Marker obstacle/strong point system was assigned to 3d Marine Division by III MAF' Operation Plan 11-67 and III MAF Administrative Plan 11•-67o

The general concept of this system (obstacle/sensor system supported by OP bunkers. strong points, and base areas) has not been significantly modified from initial concept. The scope of the mission, however, has been enlarged about 100% over that originally planned.

III, DISCUSSION.

The necessity to increase the scope was forced by several considerations- (1) increase of enemy forces in the objective area over those present during the planning stage; (2) failure in the initial planning to consider-supporting units require= ments for bunkers nnd facilitiesn (3) failure to plan for ary living considerations for the troops. occupying the bunker installations (bunks for the bunkers, decking for the bunkers5, waterproofing on the sides of the bunkers, heads, showers, electricity/water messhalls, and minimal recreation areas within Base Camps 5 , (4) false assumption that local timber in the area existed to serve as overheading for the bunkers. As a~ result, total bunker requirements for DYE MARKER have been increased from 206 to 356s circumferences of Strong Points and Base Areas have been enlarged requiring additional protec- tive wire and mines, and additions to the original BOM have been necessitated for increased bunker construction, addition of living considerations, and substitution of lumber for ovezr- heading to replace the log specificationso,

Attendant increases and item respecification to the BOM have created problems of supply. Slowdown of construction effort has been experienced due to evident incapacity of the system to provide requested lumber for overheading, to provide timely requirements for bunker waterproofing, and to supply uprights of acceptable lengths and dimensions to meet requirements.

The preceeding has slowed construction but has not yet jeoper= dized meeting the construction schedule. Of more critical concern is the capacity of the supply system to meet the full scope of the increased BOM requirements on a timely basis. The problem is self apparent to all concerned. Without the material in adequate time the construction effort suffers. Beyond a given point the effects may be irretrievable.

TAB-• SECRET DECLASSIFIED DECLASSIFIED • • SECRET

Weather conditions will also affect construction schedules. Experience has disclosed that heavy rain slows all traffic (material delivery) to on site distribution1 distant from the principal supply routes. Advent of the monsoon season is forecast for mid-October, When the season starts the progress of major construction will be seriously impaired or stopped.

IV. ACTION BEING TAKEN:

Upon receipt of III NAF Operation and Administrative Plans (OpPlan 11U-67., Admin Plan 11-67) immediate appraisal was made of conditions affecting the.project and of what could be accepted as an effective installation. Some time was involved in arriving at a fixed conclusion. The increases requested were converted to increased requirements to the BOM, and submitted to III NAFo No response f1bm III MAF has been received pertaining to this recent submission.

Present movement of materials to Force Logistic Supply Unit #1, Dong Ha, is now well coordinated to meet current demands. By order, requirements are forecast and submitted th!ough channels fourteen days prior to intended use. Major construction is scheduled for completion prior to the start of the monion season - 15 October.

V. RECOMENDATIONS:

None. III MAF and NACV are fully aware of our requirements and are expending every effort to meet them.

I. SUBJECT: FORCE DISPOSITION DURING PHASE 1 OF DYE MARKER.

II. FACTS

Construction of obstacle/TRACE requires a minimum of two infantry battalions to construct obstacles and man completed obstacle! barrier system.

Forces constructing TRACE will not be tactically postured during construction phase and will be particularly vulnerable to enemy harassing attacks during this phase.

The enemy continues to possess the capability to mount a major invasion against the northern provinces and his easiest route of approach is through the Con Thien, Gio Linh, Cam Lo, Dong Ha corridor.

The Khe Sanh area remains a major route of approach though considerably more difficult from the enemy point of view. The advent oa monsoon weather increases the difficulties encountered in this area.

The enemy forces based in the Hai Lang area continue to pose a major threat to Quang Tri and the RD area in the coastal plain.

The success of the RD program and the prevention of enemy harassment and major attacks against RVNAF forces assisting in this program remains a primary task of the division.

The monsoon weather reduces trafficability and visibility there- by restricting large scale operations not supportable from in- proved lines of communications. III MAF has concurred in minimum forcame requirement of 12 battalions during critical Dye Marker construction phase.

III. DISCUSSION:

The above considerations dictate a posture oriented toward the major enemy threat from North of the DMZ. The two battalions involved in the construction i.e., actually laying mines, laying wire, etc., and local security are particularly vulnezable to enemy attack or harassment. Additional forces therefore must be oriented to North and West of the obstacle/TRACE to prevent enemy harassment of the obstacle construction and circumvention of the TRACE to invade the northern provinces in strength.

The maintenance of secure LOCOs and supporting arms and logistics bases in the northern AO continues to require F forcc .- sture oriento Salong route nine and the maintenance and security of the Cau Viet logistics base, Dong Ha combat base, Camp Carroll and the outposts at Thon Son Lam and Ca Lu., The withdrawal of forces from the Ba Long and the D-5 outposts will provide additonal

TAB-D

DECLASSIFIED DECLASSIFIED * * ferees to maintain the IOCu a, and bases in this area. Sufficient "ferces are required in this function to permit continueus/active patrolling and operations against possible enemy force build up that threatens these area.

The northwest portion of the AO contains major enemy infiltration routes into Southern Quang Tri and Thua Thien provinces. How- evers the extremes of terrain coupled with the inclement weather patterns of the Northwestmonsoon are expected to'reduce enemy activity in this area from October thru February. Since the weather pattern also makes logistic support of this base extreme= ly difficult during this period it is felt that a reduction of the Khe Sanh force to one battalion while maintaining all supporting arms and services now in area would moderately reduce attendent logistics problems yet would not reduce the capabilities of the force remaining to maintain the Khe Sanh AO and defend the combat base. A reinforcement capability of one battalion would be retained in the Dong Ha area capable of being helolifted on short notice to the Khe Sanh combat base. This f6rce will also act as Division reserve for other contingencies.

The capability of the enemy to disrupt and harass the RD effort in Southern Quang Tri and Thua Thein provinces remains a major concern. While this capability is not of the magnitude of the enemy threat across the DMZ it remains one'of the principle objectives in the entire enemy effort in South Vietnam. Accordingly the continued pressure of operatioris against his major base areas in Quang Tri and Thua Thien province in conjunction with 1st ARVN Division forces continues to require forces capable of conducting meaningful operations in this area. These forces also have the responsibility of security of National Route #1 and Phu Bai vital area, IV. ACTION BEING TAKEOh

DECLASSIFIED DECLASSIFIED @ * G-4 BRIEFING NARRATIVE

Genreral KRULIAK9 since your last visit to the Division9 we have continued to make progress in our logistic posture oýuzc;trating our attention on detailed planning and execution of logistic support for operations, preparations for the monsoon season, improved orograms for organizational maintenance, preparation for the GAO vissit and analysis of supply and transportation procecures required to improve class II supply support. In additionr, we have continued to take all possible action to resolve the several problem areas we have listed in your briefing book.

MONSOON PREPARATIONS-

Program= for logistic support during ths monsoon sewnn are ePnn+-ijing to be vigorously pursued by the Division, FIW, III WT, and youl Headquarters, CG III MAF has promulgated instructions regardine allocation of supplies and equipment required for the monsoon. ePaonia well as instructions for requisitioning and cortrol. When all of the supplies arnd equipment have arrived in country and requisitions are filledg the Division should be in good shape to perform its miasion under adverse weather conditions.

Although we have yet to experience the 1967 monsoor - ~re already planning for 1968 monsoon requirements. We will be sa.umiting recommpena= tions for the inclusion of certain items in USM1 or III MAF provisional T/E 9s so that we may have continuous availability of needed items and authority to requisition and hold allowances prior to the onset of a monsoon seasono

CARGO MOVEMENT-

During the next several months we visualize an increased tonnage of cargo moving into the northern area to support our troops" facilities and Dye Marker, We have included a chart in your book which depicts the anticipated increase,

The increased tonnage which will be received through the poft fa4ci1.:i.ty at Cua Viet has resulted in a requirement for increased space, facilities and equipment at the offloading ramp at Dong Ha, Presently cargo is being received at the ramp in the average amount of 625 tons per day, and the 3d Shore Party Battalion is hard pressed to keep the cargo momr~p expeditiously. These increased requirements make it mandatory th1ie tep8 be taken to improve the facility. We have r-smaended to CG III MAF that III AF investigate the possibility of the Na-la Support Activity assuming responsibility for the ramp with the Division getting out of the port facility businesA, If NSA agrees to assume this reeponsibilityg and informal liaisont. ws vidence they will, the operations in the I' Vi et- Dong Ha area willbe conducted under a similar organizational ar-angement to that employed in the Cel Co-Hue area.

9 * DEADLINED COMBAT ESSENTIAL, EQUIPEEM

Your Headquarters has advised that the reporting of Deadlined Combat Essential Equipment has contained a number of repetitive discregancies and has directed that appropriate corrective action be taken t67ensure Deadlined Equipment reporting is complete 9 timelyq accurate,

Under the procedures of FMFPacO 400 0o13C neither the Division nor the Force Logistic Command has the independent means to assure the validity of the finished reportp as it contains input data from both ccmmandse The FIM input cannot be ve,rified by the Division prior to submission within reporting deadlines., nor can the Division input be verified by FIC, For exampleg the 3d Division report for the period ending 31 July shows AN/TRC-27 serial number 1277 deadlined for 3d echelon maintenance since Julian Date 7178 (27 June 67) awaiting shop space, In order for the Division to verify the accuracy of this entry9 the TRC=27 would have to be physically located in the FLC maintenance shop to assure that it has not been coded as unserviceable or returned to the Division. A similar reconciliation would have to be made for every item deadlined at the Force Logistic Comnand for 3d echelon maintenanceo

The Division is seriously concerned regarding the time equipment is deadlined for 3d echelon maintenance, as reflected in the Deadlined Combat Essential Equipment Reports. Either the deadlined time in 3d echelon repair facilities is excessive, or the input to the report for 3d echelon repair is erroneous. Data in TABS (B) through (F) show ageing of equipment, by technical field, deadlined for 3d echelon maintenance. As of 31 Julyp 116 items were deadlined for left than 30-days 9 184 for 30 to 60 days 9 90 for 60 to 90 daysp and 113 for between 90 and 300 days. A similar breakout was prepared for the reporting period 1-15 May, and 3d Division and FLC representatives began a comprehensive reconciliation process between unit records, reported figuresq and equipment physically on hand at units and at FLC maintenance shops. This reconciliation was conducted as a result of this Headquarters9 suspicion that the core of the program was faulty input, rather than excessive maintenance delay. However , before this reconciliation could be completed FIPacO 4000.13C was published, and a complete new data base was prepared by the 3d Division and the Force Logistic CoGammand. This new data base forms the basis for the current report as well as the ageing breakout show in TABS (B) through (F). Currently, programming difficulties at FLC have interfered with effective reconciliation efforts of the 3d Division and the Force Logistic Command.

As we all hoýOe Deadlined Combat Essential Equipment Report is- the management tool available to the GCnmander for examining all aspects of Deadlined Combat Essential Equipment The most recent runoff (for the period ending 15 August) was processed successfully under a new machine program, and it appears that the immediate problem of machine support has been solved, The reconciliation process of equipment in 3d echelon shops has been resumedg and the report will become a more meaningful document when this reconciliation has been completedo

SUPPLY BRIEFING NARRATIVE

Good morning General. This morning I will briefly review a few of our supply problems and some of our supply accomplishments since your last visit.

MONSOON SEASON:

Generally, we are still concerned with the approaching monsoon seasofi and its impact on an ,Tready over burdened supply system. The ability of FLSG-Alpha to provide and maintain adequate stock levels on fast moving items is of continuing concern. These include such items as clothing, individual equipment, repair parts and stationery. There is a constant demand on the assets of FLC from a highly competitive market in I Corps Area and such items should always be on hand. Stock- age objectives must be maintained or we will continue to have crash programs in order to meet our daily requirements and the system will not be responsive to daily needs. Recently, in response to a request from the CG, Force Logistics Command we provided a list of some of the more critical items of supply within the 3d Marine Division. Your booklet contains an analysis of a few of these items. GAQ:

In your message 251747Z June 1967 you advised this Division of the anticipated GAO review of supply operations in RVN com- mencing late summer or early fall.

To assist the Division in identifying all deficiencies and to take positive corrective action a FMFPAC Supply Operation Assistance Team visited this command for the purpose of eval- uating the supply operating efficiency of the following units:

3d Med Bn Hq Bn 3d Recon Bn 11th Engr Bn 3d Engr Bn 1st Anfrac Bn 3d AT Bn Hq Btry 12th Mar 3d Tank Bn 3d Bn, 3d Mar 3d Bn, 9th Mar

The FMPPAC Supply Assistance Team completed its evaluation of the above units on 16 August 1967 and provided a detailed report of all the deficiencies they found in each unit.

Since 16 August 1967 the 3d Marine Division Supply Manage- ment Team under the supervision of the Division Supply Officer has reinspected these units to insure that corrective action was taken. These reinspections are completed and the Division Supply Management Team is now in the process of holding school for every unit in the Division with emphasis on the following areas of supply management: (1) Computation of average monthly

4-9

DECLASSIFIED DECLASSIFIED

@ * recurring demand (AMRD), (2) Priority utilization, (3) Ware- housingg (4) Excesses and cancellations, (5) Milstrip education, and (6) 708 cards

In addition, Division Maintenance Management Teams have been formed in each of the technical sections and all units have been evaluated to improve the effectiveness, control and maintenance of their communications, engineer, motor transport and ordnance equipment. The 3d Marine Division program for improving the supply and maintenance discipline of all units will continue. LtCol George W. TROXLER has been appointed GAO representative for this Division and will be the point of contact on all GAO matters.

PRIORITY UTILIZATION:

During the past three months, as a result of the accounting problems generated by the conversion to the 360 computer, the priority 02 usage has been higher than normal. However, by aggressively monitoring priority 02 requisitions there will be a marked decrease in priority 02 utilization within the 3d Marine Division. The results of the requisition cancellation and excess turn in have been most successful0 TAB L in your book represents the results since January 1967o- This is a continuing program and is given constant attention, as regards both requisition processing and inspection of unit records. SUPPLY EARLY WARNING:

Some time ago you suggested that one of the ways we could help your headquarters was to provide early warning on poter- tial problem areas of supply. Since 8 August 1967 this Divý- sion has submitted three supply early warning messages to higher headquarters and we have established a continuing program whereby our supply management teams as a result of their daily inspections of Division units are alert for early warning signs and provide the feedback on potential supply problem areas.,

CONCLUSION:

General, in spite of the magnitude of our supply problems in the 3d Marine Division, the supply system has made some progress in providing for this Division's needs. In recent weeks the response to requests for supply assistance from higher headquarters has been most productive0 The 3d Marine Division will continue to provide all required assistance in an effort to improve the status of supply support in the Northern TAOR of I Corps0

Since 1 January 19679 43 tracked vehicles of the 3d Tank Battalion have sustained Tine damage. Six of these received relatively minor damage apd were immediately restored to a combat ready condition with no ensuing deadline. The damage sustained by the remaining 37 vphicles required extensive repair or replacement 2 NM48A3 Track Shoes and Roadwheels have constituted the most critical problem during the past two months. Left Torsion Bars have recently been added to the critical category. 3. During the period I July 1966 to present, 66 roadwheels were used by this -ommand. Of these, 132 were in stock at the beginning of the period, 131 were received during the period through normal supply channels arnd 201 were procured from sources other than normal supply channels. primarily through selective interchange with R'E and surveyed vehicleso There are no roadwheels on hand and the selective interchange source has been exhausted, One hundred fifty- seven roadwheels are currently on requisition. An ad'ditional amount of 120 were-reouisitioned on 27Aug67 to cover recent losses and known rqui~emernts to replace worn-out roadwheelso

4 Since 1 July 1966 a total of 3129 track shoes have been used. Of these, 1331 were received through normal supply channels , 160 from selective interchange with WB&vehicles 9 678 from let FSR, Danang, on a walk-through requisition, and 960 were recovered from our operational area where they had been blown off and left g due to combat conditions during recovery operations. Six thousand seven hundred nd-•two track shoes are on requisition, of which 3428 shoes have been released for shipment by Thiladelphia applying to priority 05 requisitions submitted in August 1965. There are no track shoes on hand, and there are ten (10) vehicles operating on marginal track which requires replacement.

5, Left torsion bars , another item normally destroyed by mine damage, have been added to the critical supply item list,

IIIo DISCUSSIONs As evidenced abovey these items appear to be a continun-- p=roblem in asupply system responsiveness. Additional delay in obtaining the items will shortly result in an unsatisfactory combat readiness condition for the 3d Tank Battaliono

Co Third Mot,pos operates daily_ resupply convoys to Cumberland and Camp Evans. On the return trip these vehicles move troops and cargo and haul supplies from Hue Ramp to Phu Baio The Phu Bai Defense Battalion requires an average of 17 trucks for security or sweep insertions daily. Fifteen tr~krs are staged nightly for use by the reaction for ?-£f required0

d. Ninth Motors operates daily resupply convoys for units located at Gio Linh and Con Thien and units located on route 9 as far west as Thon Son Lamo Most of this battalion's additional hauling is tactical troop movement for the infantry. Available trucks are employed hauling from Dong Ha Ramp to the supply dumps.

DECLASSIFIED DECLASSIFIED

III. Discussion:

1. The two battalions have met all general support requirements and the 105 Rough Rider Operations conducted this year without seriously disrupting the normal daily commitments outlined in paragraph Ilo

2. When a special project or operation is planned requiring motor transport support, trucks are placed in direct support of the operationo This was done recently to move 1,000 tons of building material from Hue Ramp to Camp Evans. Third Motors was given opcon of a Ninth Motors platoon, 15 trucks, and the material was moved in 18 days0

3. Ninth Motors currently has seven M-52 tractors and 27 semi-trailers. The remaining three trailers rated in the T/E have been invoiced to Third FSR for FMFPac's Operation Hi Roll, and 23 additional tractors rated by the battalion have never been receivedo The Dye Marker 4roject could be supported more adequately by Ninth M6tota if these 23 tractors were on hand. It is estimated that 16 tractors and semi-trailer combinations could deliver the required bunker and obstacle material from Doug Ha to the project sites. This would leave the remaining 14 combinations for other commitments.

IV. Action Being Taken- Third Force Service Regiment message 25004dZ Augus" 6TIo CG FMFPac reviews action taken to date to secure additional-tractors.

V. Recommendation: That CG FMFPac continue to take all required action to assure delivery of 23 M=52A2 tractors rated by Ninth Motor Transport Battalion for support of Dye Marker.

ITEM T O HAND

(1ý Box 100 cuft 50 0 2 Unit YE-10 46 0 (3) Box 630 cuft 26 7 (4) Unit MQ51E 26 7

C. The special allowance authorizations reflected in paragraph II B above were approved by CMC for planning purposes in June 1966. CMC advised at that time that requisitioning instructions would be provided when the equipment was available for issue.

D. In January 1967 FIYFPAC requested CMC to advise as to the status of the special allowance refrigeration. In February 1967 CMC advised that SECNAV had approved foreign source procurement, that contracts were being negotiated and that delivery dates would be provided when known.

III. Discussion:

A. As reflected in II A and B above the Third Marine Divi- sion presently holds sixty-nine 100 cuft refrigerators and seventy-two ME-10 refrigeration units by USMC T/EI and seven 630 cuft refrigerators and seven MQ51E refrigeration units authorized by special allowance. This provides approximately .20 cuft of refrigerated storage space per ration served daily. This factor is adequate in most instances where an organization of battalion size is operating a single field mess and is feed- ing "B" type rations. However, when "A" rations are served and/or a battalion is required to operate two or more messes this factor becomes inadequate.

DECLASSIFIED DECLASSIFIED

@ * B. The 3d Marineý Division is currently subsisting over 80% of its total strength on "A" type rations daily. Due, to operational requirements many units are required to operate two or more messes.

C. During the past ten months, subsistence supnort provided the Third Marine Division by PLC has continued to improve. A wide variety of "A" rations is now available in all areas, but due to insufficient refrigeration many units must limit the quantity and frequency of "A" rations served. In all cases, refrigeration is so limited that issues must be made daily, and refrigeration units are virtually packed. The heavy loading reduces the effectiveness of the unit and results in excessive strain and frequent mechanical breakdown of equipment.

D. Approximately 90% of all "All ration meats available are frozen when received by the mess and require a thaw-out period prior to preparation. It is both desired and required that all frozen meats and other perishable items be thawed under refrigeration at a temperature below 45 degrees P. This is presently impossible due to limited refrigeration and results in these items being thawed at room temperature. Due to the extreme heat, high humidity and dust which are prevalent throughout this area, thawing at high temperatures results in the possibility of bacteriological growth and contamination.

E. The -a,0f refrigeration equipment has gradually developed over a period ef months and is the direct result of two factors. FPirst, units have been deployed over a wide area, requiring establishment of additional field messes and dilution of total division assets of refrigeration equipment. Secondly, overall standards of subsistence support and logistic capability have overtaken the present allocations of refrigeration equipment.

IV. Action Being Taken:

A. In an effort to obtain maximum effectiveness from available assets, this D vision s refrigeration equipment has been redistributed on &.temporary basis to those units which have generated increased requirements through the establishment of additional messes.

V. Recommendation:

A. That CG,,PFMFPAC provide assistance in expediting ae- quisition of the special allowance approved by CMC in June 1966 which is urgently required for efficient operation of messes throughout the Third Marine Division.

G-5 BRIEFING CG FMFPAC 3SEP67

Good Khaming General KRULAK

I. I would like to cover briefly the status of Revolutionary Development (RD) in Thua Thien and Quang Tri provinces; the Division Civil Affairs/Civic Action programs; and the Division Personal Response project.

II. During your last visit in May it was reported that RD initially got off to a smooth start with the beginning of the program in February 1967o By late March and early April however, the VC commenced a determined effort to destroy the program. In Thua Thien for example,3 RD cadre teams were attacked in April resulting in 23 KIA and 21 WIA. Six teams were attacked in Quang Tri in late March. These attacks had a decided effect on the morale of all teams and the program suffered a setback. An indication of the setback can be seen in recruiting of new RD cadre 4 personnel. No RD workers were recruited in Mayy while 103 were enlisted in June and about the same number in July. The trend is definitely upward now. Since mid June with improvements in security (each province added a third ARVN Battalion for security) the RD program has made a decided recovery and it appears now that it may still achieve many of its original 1967 objectives. Thua Thien currently has 14 teams of the original 18 that started the program. Seven of these have moved to 2nd semester hamlets with 6 more planned to follow.

Quang Tri has 15 teams of the original 17. Six of these are ready to move to 2nd semester locations after the elections.

The CORDS reorganization got off to a "shaky" start in June. Guidance from Saigon was not provided until mid July. CORDS is now suffering the normal growing pains experienced by most new organizations0 In addition, the concept has not been fully implemented at province levelý Although it is too early to evaluate the results of this reorganization we think the idea is a good one and that it will finally resul in a more unified American support for RDo

We are looking for ways ourselves to contribute to this unity of efforto One step we have taken is to move the USMC officer responsible for civic action in each province into the province capital to work closely with CORDS. There is a general recognition that virtually all civic action peroipmed in these prQiincesq .-Marine Corps sponsored. We have also added a USMC officer to each provincial headquarters to help CORDS in the RD area. Having these representatives at province level allows us to use our resources more effectively and to encourage more RVNAF participation. The CORDS people are heartily in favor of this concepto

Our Civil AffairsZCivic Action programs in the Division are closely tied to CORDS efforts since our purpose is generally to carry out the RD concept. As our resources permit, our programs are designed to help out in villages and districts contiguous to the RD priority areas. Through our Marines in CAP's and our S-5's in our support battalions, identified with a village we assist its leaders in self help projects and make the system work. Through our civic action program we push plans for community projects through district to province and expedite the flow of

DECLASSIFIED DECLASSIFIED * 6 commodities to accomplish the job, which is usually performed on a self- help basiso As in the RD program the project itself is not important; the important thing is that it demonstrates an interest on the part of the GVN and its ally, in the welfare of the people (See Tab A for list of Civic Action projects)o

In addition to these projects we are involved in a wide range of activities. Our MEDCAP/DENCAP program has grown from 9,000 in January into 49,000 in July. Our monthly average is about 26,220 per month. We are initiating the 3d Marine Division Vietnamese Scholarship Program in conjunction with the General WALT Scholarship Program. Currently we have 55 students enrolled in secondary and vocational schools in and around Hueo We are expanding this program to include Quang Trifo

We continue to receive requests from the GVN to help in refugee problemso You are familiar with the relocation of the population of the DMZ during operation Hickory0 The Cam Lo refugee camp is now a permanent center and will take part in the national elections on 3 September. During July an ARYN operation in the "Street Without Joy" area generated 79000 refugeeso USMC truck transportation was used to help transport these families to south Phong Dien (29000) and Quang Dien(5,000) districts0

We still are in need of full time S-5's at the Regimental and Battalion levels. Only 1/6 of our units have S-5 assigned as a primary duty0 The recent T/O = T/E recommendation to Headquarters Marine Corps should help in this area0

Personal Response ProKram. Most Marines involved in civic action projects develop a sympathy for these victims of war and a better feeling for the Vietnamese people and the real nature of this conflict0 To bring these lessons home to others who because of their assignments do not have this chance, we have an active Personal Response Program0 This week we will hold our 7th Personal Response class0 Each of these classes has had 1 officer and 1 Staff NCO from each Battalion in atten- dance0 Our Personal Response Contact Team now visits most units in the field and holds informal type discussions. During these discussions and formal schools we cover the history, culture and religion of Viet- namo Our Personal Response council meets monthly and is comprised of all Regimental and Battalion executive officerso Sixteen hours of instruction is presented in the formal school; 18 hours is included in the CAP's training0 We are currently planning to insert 10 hours of this instruction in the Staff NCO schoolo

III. Summary and Conclusions. In summary - RD is progressing in the two northernmost provinceso .Although all 1967 original objectives will not be met, the program has shown progress since June. The addition of a third ARVN Battalion for security in each province has aided the programo We are continuing to give the program all the support we possibly can and to complement it with a vigorous civic action program.

Division and Force Engineers continue to perform in their combat support and combat service support roles. Continuous engineer support has been provided for all division operations. This has included construction, demolitions, minesweeping, road construction,and maintenance, obstacle installation and removal, water supply and utilities support A considerable number of bunkers have been constructed at Gio Linh, Con Thien, Khe Sanh and other areas utilizing native materialso This generally results in sub-standard bunkers due to the paucity of native materials as well as accompanying construction problems. Numerous enemy bunkers and fortifications encountered

DECLASSIFIED DECLASSIFIED 46 9 in the DMZ, Khe Sanh area, Hai Lang Forest, and elsewhere in the Division's AOR were destroyed as were tunnel complexes where uncovered. An ever increasing water requirement is being met. We average about 325,000 gallons of potable water per day. (See Chart 1). Electrical power requirements continue to grow as base areas are developed through the Advanced Base Functional Component Program (ABFC). 60 KW generators, the primary sources of our field electric power continue in short supply due to large numbers still in the Rebuild Program. (See Chart 2).

Considerable construction effort is being placed on re- pairing and upgrading MSR's, particularly National Routes 1 and 9. Other routes of interest are RVN Route 551 extending from Hue east through Thua Thien Province to the LST port facility under construction at Tan My; RVN Route 5469 Hue to the A Shau Valley; RVN Route 561 in Quang Tri Province, Cam Lo to Con Thien; and RVN Route 55S .extending from Cam Lo southward to the Cua Valley. These routes are useable in good weather to Class 60 traffic. RVN Route 561, of prime importance to support Dye Marker, is currently being upgraded to an all weather road by the application of rock and asphalt sealcoating.

Other major engineer projects include:

1. Khe Sanh Airfield. X-3•,900 ft strip is currently marginally operational at the Khe Sanh Combat Base. The surface is AM-2 matting0 Recent rains have resulted in damage to the subgrade necessitating extensive repairs, Responsibility for the upkeep of this field rest with Public W:rks Danang (CBMU-301). Current plans call for the air movement of several 15 TPH rock crushers, additional men, and engineer equipment to the Khe Sanh area, Maintenance of this field will .con.tinue to be a problem throughout the coming monsoon,

2. Division Command Post. Construction of the new division command post facility at Phu Bai is nearing completion by the 3d Engineer Battalioh.- The complex includes a large administration builAog, quarters and mess for the Commanding Ge~iperal, and other ancillary facilities . Constructionlias been accomplished by the use of O&M,MC resources, 3. MIngsweeping Operations: Daily sweeps of lines of communications are conducted by engineer elements to counter enemy mine effort-. Elements of the 3d and 11th Engineer Battalions average between 25,000 and 35,000 meters of roads swept daily. A reve . 'the mine incidents reported within the Division AOR reveals a continued emphasis in the level of mine warfare employed by the

6-3

DECLASSIFIED DECLASSIFIED

enemy, Over 800 mining incidents have been reported during the calendar year. During this period a mine awareness program at the small unit level has succeeded in discovering 60 - 75% of the mines encountered pri'or to detonation.

Four programs currently support our construction programs today. These ares

1. Military Construction (MCON)

2, Advanced Base Functional Components (ABFC)

3. Public Works (Minor Construction)

4. O&M MarCorps

In general terms, present criteria limit MOON and Public Works programs to secure base areas. The Phu Bai/Gia Le Combat Base Complex is the only secure area, designated by CG III MAE, with the Division AORo Thus, construction requirements in all other division areas must:of necessity be provided by the ABFC program or from O&M MarCorps sources 0

Fy-66 MCON provided us with 8 Bn sized cantonments with an additional 6 programmed under Fy-67So In addition, MCON ,provided us with many required ancillary facilities,

The division's total housing requirement equates to 31 battalion areas (9 infantry, 11 separate battalions, 5 artillery battalions, 5 regimental headquarters and 1 division headquarters). The deficit of 17 battalion areas has been programmed and is being constructed in part through the ABFC program0

Public Works (Minor Constructioni- will provide us with many individual requirements as well as a source for maintenance funds within the Phu Bai/Gia Le Combat Baseo

Chart 3 shows our overall construction accomplishments to date. You can see we have a long way to go. Construction effort though moving ahead at a fairly rapid pace will not provide for our planned requirements prior to the Monsoon, In order to place ourselves in the best possible position, recognizing the limitations of our available construction effort, we continually adjust priorities to ensure best utilization and results:

Bunker material from all sources, including Dye Marker requirements continues to remain in short supply0 Requisi- tions have been upgraded to Pri 02 and all appropriate supply action has been taken at our echelon0 Other O&MMC construc-

6-4

DECLASSIFIED DECLASSIFIED e 9 tion materials are practically non existant, yet are trgently required for maintenance and repair purposes throughout the the Division's AOR. Continued shortages have hampered the engineer battaliongs capability to provide many needed minor construction projects ranging from shelving in warehouses to the construction of the Division Command Post.

In summary, we can say that our engineer effort is fully committed within the limits of availability and effectively utilized. It should be noted that with the exception of the 3d Engineer Battalion all other engineer forces are OPCON to agencies outside the division. These forces while contri- buting significantly to 3d Yarine Division construction objectives support many other organizations in our AORo The 11th Engineer Battalion is committed almost exclusively to Dye Marker and will remair so during the next several months. Overall engineer construction effort in Quang Tri arj W fihcic Provinces approximates 48 battalion months based on identified requirements. With 3 Naval Construction Battalions, 1 Force Engineer Battalion, and 1 Division Engineer Battalion currently available to perform these tasks considerable time will still be required to accomplish all remaining requirements,
