(3) Terro~s$. Acts of terrori~, except for the last 7-10 days o~ the period, continued. at a. relAtively high level in ICTZ. Those act! consisted of aS~88in&tion6 and kidnapp1ngs of GVN administrators, offi­cials, and civilians, including KD cadre, People's Self Defense Force and National Police personnel; attacks directed tovard local government.al organizations and ageM1es; attacks on retugee &.00 I"e&ettament are&.s and the destruction/burning of homes.

Terrorist activity retlected a concerted effort to torce people in refugee and l"esettlemerlt arer.s to return to their former hcnes in a1"8ae outside GVN control; intimidate GVN administrators and officials, partic­ularly at village and hamlet levels; and dierupt GVN pacification efforts. The enemy placed considerable emphasis on discrediting the ability ot the GVN to effectively provide for the eecuri ty of the people.

Additionally, numerous civilian ca8\81t1es resulted when limited enemy attacks and at tacks by fire on various governmental and military agencies aM installAtions, dbregarded the preserce or close proximity of civilian tnE!t1, wor;aen ana children. On occasions, attacKs by fire featuring rockets 8000 mortars were 80 tar removed from an.v govel'TlJllental or military agencies, organi7.&tions, or installations that the resultant ci vilian casualties could only be construed as intentiona.l efforts to terrorize the people, a complete disregard for their safety, or both.

(4) Sal:>ota~. Sabotage activities remained at a 10..- level during September. Interdiction of lines of cOIDIlunication continued as the pri­mary target and featured minor bridge ani culvert damage/destruction am road cratering. Two successful mining &.ttempts were conductecr against ., ~ins on the HUE-DANANG Railroad.

A US Navy ship sustained relatively minor damage from what 'A8

believed to be a mine attached to the hull, below the 'Water line, by an underwater sapper.

(5) F.s ana e. In addition to normal covert reconnaissance and sUl"Veillance of GVN RVNAF/FWMAF personnel, installations and activities, enemy intelligence gathering ertorts continued to reflect emphs,si6 on the cultivation and reoruitment of penetration agents through ¢1vilian and military proselyting.

Nidi tional activity inc1u1ed the a ttempt.ed 1n!1l tr& tiorl of oJ)ec1ally selected and trained penetrotion agents/cadre into variou8 GVN agenCies, organizations, and areas throu~ the use of the Chieu Hoi progra.m. Plans

a. General. Durin<1 the munth 'o£"'6ept'elnberthelo"glitle~""\'i~~''''''C~-' i . posture remaIned. good to excel :.ent throughout ICTZ. Weather, although approaching the monsoon season, had little effect on surface or air movement of car·:o. Enemy action aimed at har-rassing LOCs remained at a low level durinq the period. The only significant event occured on 16 september when two com-mand detonated mines derailed ~he engine and two cars on the Hue to Danang train of the Vie:~namese Railroad. 9 meters of track were damaged and two Vie~:namese oivilians injured. '

(1) Other enemy activ~.ty directly a:ffecting logistics occured on 6 S~ptember when a rocket at.t.ack was ~.irecte:d against the Danang East area. At 0155 and at 0300 a tots,l of SI l22mm rockets hit III MAF. Only two impact.ed in the compound. At' apPI\.Q,Umately 0300 a 122mm rocket. impacted, in the ARVN ammo sto~a" point, adjacent NSA covered storage area, and across the road t~om III MAF. The ARVN ammo storage point contained an open pl~e of 4,000 Antitank mines which exploded in a single large'.econdary explosion which left a crater 100 to 120 feet in ~iameter. The resultant. overpressure apd fite ~aused con­siderable damaCle t.o the covered storage area. Appl'o~imately 50%, or 236,000 cubic;feet of reefer oapacity w~s lost. Other damaqed facilities in the covered stor~.O'e area were adminis­t.rat.ive and office spaces, t.he ice plant, warehouses, and the telephone exchanqe. ~n ,ddi ti'jn to 49pe~8onnel wounded (3 evacuees), III MAF received ma~erial damages to include struc­turally damaqed warehouses, blvwn out windows, doors and fix­tures.

(2) On 9 S~ptember there was a meeting of representa­tives from III MAF, NSA and 3rd NCB to discuss reconstruction plans. A force of approximately 150 seabees began to rebuild warehouses, offioe spaces, refrigerated spaces, the telephone exchanqe, and the ioe plant. The estimated date of recovery to pre-~ttack condition was set at. late November with the pos­sible exception of the reefer capacity which depended upon t.he delivery of replacement units. A long term floating reefer storage was used as an interim measure to satisfy reefer re­quirements. Since the use of the refriqeration ship was ex­tremely costly, a short term storage capacity was planned to eiiminate the use of facilit.ies afloat. November first was the tenuative completion date for this short term capacity to be used for freeze and sensitive ohill items.

(a) There was a significant reduction in LOC inter­dictions during September. Only one bridg'e was damaged. This occured on route QL-l 20 kilometers north of Tam Ky. The Hue-By­Pass Ferry was placed in operation on the 6th of September. The ferry offers the only means of access across the Perfume River for large tactical vehicles.

(b) Two major Highway Bridge construction projects were in progress~ the Lang Co Highway Bridge (88% complete) and the Dong Ha Bridge (52% complete). 22 Kilometers of QL-l were paved during the month. 341 kilometers (85%) of this 400 kilo­meter route have been paved. On route QL-9, 5 kilometers were paved. This 137 kilometer route was 92% complete in September. (The scope of the route QL-9 upgrade project was r~duced from 41 to 37 kilometers because paving of the stretbh from Vander­grift Combat Base to Ca Lu was no longer considered tactically necessary). Route 540 has been 83% completed.

c. Civic Action Pro~ects. The following are highlights of significant civic act on projects conducted during the month of September 1969.

(1) Quang Tri Province.

3d Marine Division reports continuity of some civic action projects has been a probl'em because of the troop redeployment. Transportation has been difficult to arrange tor delivery of supplies. Typhoon Doris disrupted many projects throuehout the Province.

The two largest high schools in Quang Tri Province received considerable aid and assistance from 3d Marine Division dur­ing the reporting period. The Bo De High School and Thanh Tam High School in Quang Tri City (YD347531) have a combined enrollment of approximately 2,000 stUdents. They are both ex­amples of the impl'ovements being made in the educational sys­tem in Quang Tri Province.

On 30 September two Vietnamese children returned to Quang Tri Province after having spent approximately 3 months at 8 hospital in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Both were sent to the U.S. by the 3d Marine Division to undergo open heart surgery. One was operated on but it was later determined that the other child did not actually require surgery. The Reverend Gordon SMITH, who has spent 41 years in Vietnam, accompanied them back to La Vang Airfield in Quang Tri City. Both child­ren have been returned to their families.

(2) Thua Thien Province.

This month saw the completion of the maternity clinic in Huong Tra District (YD75525l), Thua Thien Province. This was a major effort undertaken by the 2d Brigade, lOlst Air­borne Division in direct conjunction with the 3d ARVN Regiment. This clinic was originally a French-built structure in poor condition. Following six months of work. strictly voluntary, by troops of the 3d ARVN Regiment, with materials provided by

DECLASSIFIED

the 2d Brigade, s-5, through the Division G-5, the clinic has added four new double bedrooms, a new water closet, and a new administration building. The capacity of the clinio has been more than doubled and much of the danger in childbirth has been eased. The ARVN soldiers willingly worked because it was of direct assistance to their families. The relationship between the 2d Brigade and 3d ARVN Regiment was more fi~ly cemented.

Intelligence information on the NVA and VC activities con­tinues to be turned into lOlst Airborne Division officers by the local populace. The people also seem to accept the U.S. forces more as friends than as a necessity because of civic action projects.

Weekly MEDCAPs have been held in a slum area in Phan Thiet HAmlet, 101at Airborne Division CAAOR, where living conditions are extremely poor. Soap 1s regularly distributed and the children are made to take a bath before visiting the medical aidmen. Clothing has been given to the needy and food is distributed each week. The people are extremely grateful since their inoome is a very low and they are not supported by any of the welfare organiZations.

~lements of an Aero Rifle Platoon, B Troop, 2/17 Cavalry, lOlst Airborne Division discovered an abandoned Montagnard female child, age three years, in the vicinity of (YC813795). After rendering necessary medical aid, the child was evacua­ted to Kim Long Ozrphanage (YD7392l1).

In preparation for the Mid-Autumn Festival held on 26 September, the 2d Brigade, lOlst Airborne Division provided support to the 3d ARVN Regiment in the f om of candy, lanterns, and toys for the 2,300 dependent children. A movie was also shown on .the night of 25 September 1969.

The 4-year old sister of Kit Carson Scout Nguyen D Cau was found by personnel of lOlst Airborne Division to be SUffer­ing from an acute kidney failure. Prompt diagnosis and speedy evacuation to the 85th Evacuation Hospital, later to the 95th Evacuation Hospital, saved the child's life.

G-5, 10lst Airborne Division helped an estimated 6,000 Vietnamese children celebrate Tet Trung Thu (Mid-Autumn Festival) on 26 September. Gifts of toys for both boys and girls, candy and lanterns were presented to the 3,500 dependent children of soldiers in the 3d ARVN Regiment and the 54th ARVN Regiment.

Several orphans, children of widows, achool children, and children of the interpreters and Kit Carson Scouts also re­ceived Tet Trung Thu gifts from G-5. In addition, gifts were presented from the Division Commander to the children of 1st ARVN Division Commander and the children of Thus Thien Province

Recently a large number of bodies were discovered buried in a mass grave near Hue in lOlst Airborne Division CAAOR. These bodies, the ~emains of viotims of VC te~ro~ism during the 1968 Tet Offensive, are to be buried in a large burial vault which will be dedicated by GVN as 8 shrine to the peo­ple of Vietnam. Marines of CACO 3-1 obtained the materials for the ooffins.

Two-hundred ohiokens were given to Con Son Refugee Vil­lage (YD545335), lOlst Airborne Division CAAOR. The chick­en ooop WaS built out of used lumber provided by the 3d Bri­gade.

Father Smidt, of 101st Avn Gp, gave 8 mass service in Latin at the Catholio ohu~oh in Thanh Huong Hamlet (YD5324S2). Over 400 Vietnamese attended the service.

The 326th Engineer Battalion, 101st Airborne Division par­ticipated in a US-VN Folksong Festival at the American Cul­tural Center in Hue on 28 September 1969.

lOlst Airborno Division reports a program has been init­iated under the supervision of NSAD TAN MY Pub1io Works Officer to provide enlisted Navy builders to instruct and direct the looal Vietnamese in the oonstruction of public buildings.

( 3) Quan:s N am Provinoe.

MEnCAP programs by MAG-16 and MACG-1S, 1st Marine Aircraft Wine have reoeived favorable response from the Vietnamese in the past month. MAG-16 has distributed to each person attend­ine MEDCAPs a dental care kit consisting of a toothbrush; and toothpaste. As a result, more people have sought treatment than before this program was started. Efforts are directed towards getting the people to practice dental hygiene on a ~egu1a~ basis. MACG-18 has trained its civic action team in basic first-aid and now receives villagers on a daily basis at their hamlet office in Hoa An Hamlet (AT987766).

Flooding continues to be a problem in the resettlement camps in the 1st Marine Division CAAOR, and has reached maJo~ proportions at Xuan T~a Hamlet (BT063675). By the first part of last week, the water level had reached 36" within the Camp. The Vietnamese people drained the their compound by digging a ditch across the }ISR to drain the .water in another direction. 1st Engineers emplaced a 36" oulve~t and re-opened the road. The Hoa Vang District Chief remains adamant in his decision not to move the hamlet, and has asked fo~ engineering support to create an adequate drainage system. 1st Engineers conduct­ed a survey whioh indicated that the hamlet oould be drained only by extensive earth moving and culvert emplacement. Since

the 1st Marine Division does not have sufficient engineer­ing assets available to accomplish the project, the District Chief was asked to consider the use of ARVN Engineer support, or failing that, to consider moving the people. In the mean­time, one-hundred families have moved in with the families of nearby Hoi An Hamlet which is only 25~ flooded.

The lack of construction materials, particularly wood, in 1st Marine Division OAAOR, has brought construction in Ngan Cau Hamlet (BT056566) to a stand still. In excess of 3,000 people are now living in 20 houses, 10 GP tents, and an adjacent shanty town built of scrap cardboard and crating. Living conditions have deteriorated from mar~inal to poor.

The 5th Marines, 1st Marine Division have been training Vietnamese nurses to take over their MEDCAPs. Most of the MEDCAPs in An Hoa vicinity are conducted by Vietnamese with 5th Marine supervision.

In the 26th Marines area, self-help animal projects in An Dinh Hamlet (AT891815) have brought the people closer to­gether as they labored cooperatively using material provided by the 26th Marines.

Projects at An. Dinh Hamlet (AT891815), 1st Marine Division CAAOR, were particularly successful because at the outset the 26th Marines were determined to allow the Vietnamese to pro­gress at their own pace, providing materials as they needed them. This techique is being used at Hoa Lac Elementary School, An Dinh, where lumber is being provided for school furniture, while the Vietnamese supply the labor.

The An Dinh Dedication Ceremony on 30 September was an example of good ci.vil affairs in the 1st Marine Division CAAOR. The ceremony dedicated the completion of a pig project, a rab­bit project, a chicken project, and a well. Ten General WALT Scholarships and fifty school kits were presented to the childven in Hoa Lac School following the Well Dedication Oere­mony. Many FWMAF and RVNAF officials were present, including CO 26th Marines, and Hoa Vang District Chief. III MAF band played for the ceremony.

One and one half months ago 1/13, 1st Marine Division arranged for a three year old Vietnamese girl to go to the United States for heart surgery. The surgery was accomplished successfully, and she was returned to her family two weeks ago. Her health is much improved and although it is not expected that she will live long her life expectancy has improved. Her par~ts seem very pleased with the visible signs of her re­covery. She was a "blue" baby and now has a normal skin tone. 1/13 is now arranging to evacuate two more ohi1dren of the same family to the United States for similar treatment.

Naval Support Activity reports the Civic Action Scholar­ship Program has had many beneficial resulta. In offering scholarships to over 250 children in the Danang achools, civic action is not only offering these children an education, but is also encouraging those children who did not receive schol­arships to want to go to school. This effect has been observ­ed by many of the civic action teams.

Naval Support Activity further reports that intelligence and other useful information continues to find its way to civic action personnel. Of special note was the reporting by villagers of a series of taps on a fuel line running from Red Beach to the Air JI'orce Base.

Village Assistance Team 7, Naval Support Activity has recently acoomplished a major step in reaching an important civic action goal, that of preparing the Vietnamese to take over the civic action functions and to serve their own people. A t regularly held MEDCAPs over the past few months, VAT 7 personnel had noticed a considerable interest in their work by a Vietnamese Corpsman. This interest developed, and with­in a few weeks, the oorpsman was actually taking part in the MEDCAPs. Betore long, he grasped the situation well enough to conduct the entire MEDCAP himself. Soon the location ot the MEDCAP was moved to a Vietnamese building, and a MEDCAP where Vietnamese treat Vietnamese was established. Once it was proven to the villagers that their government was making an effort to help them and that the Vietnamese corpsman was as capable as the Americans were, attendance at the MEDCAPs Burrpased previous records. Civic Action's only remaining role in the HEDCAP is the provision of medical supplies.

In the village of Hoa Thanh (AT912785), Force Logistics Command CAAOR, there is a deorease in the number of patients at MEDCAPs. It is felt that this is because of better per­sonal hygiene practiced by the villagers. The village ortic­ials are also beginning to gain more confidence in the Vil­lage Development Fund and are using this source of money.

Intelligence information conceming NVA units and mission assignments was recently given Force Logistics Command offic­ers. Additional information was provided regarding NVA units infiltrating into one of the villages at night.

The pagodas completed at Hoa Phu Hamlet (AT757784) and at Thanh Vinh Hamlet (AT923793) in Force Logistics Command CAAOR are of great importance to the Vietnamese people.

In the hamlet of Xuan Thieu (AT935893), a road approxi­mate17 ~OO meters long, has been completed. This road

provides the people with access to Route #1. Prior to this time all goods had to be physically transported through the sand to Route #1, but now vehicles can go directly to the hamlet and bring the people and their goods to market.

The rollowing projects were completed during the month or September: Hamlet/MEDCAP/DENTCAP offices at Hoa Phu Hamlet (AT975784)J. Trung Nghia Hamlet (AT984777), and Bac Ninh Ham­let (AT965tjOO); one room addition to the school at Trung Nghia Hamlet (AT984777); ten heads end 2 public showers at Phu Loe Hamlet (AT975784); hamlet gate entrance at Tiep eu (AT95L~787); three wells at Tiep Cu Hamlet (AT954787); com­munity well project at Nam 0 Hamlet (AT935893); I'efuI'bish­ment or a pagoda in Hoa Phu Hamlet (AT975784); and remodel­ing of the elementaI'Y school at Da Son Hamlet (AT960765).

III MAF H & S Company Chaplain's office is involved in the recI'uitment of off-duty English teachers for the USIS­sponsored Vietnamese-American Association. Most of the teach­ers in this program are USMC. During September, 12 personnel taught a total of 54 houI'S at Khiet Tam School, Dauang. These volunteer activities are making important contributions to the development of mutual understanding between U.S. personnel and the Vietnamese.

In support of the Mid-Autumn Festival (25-27 September) III MAF provided 10,000 portions of candy to Mrs LAM, wife of LtGen LAM, Cownanding General ICTZ. III MAP also provi­ded candy, clothing and toys to other organizations in Danang City.

G-5 is conducting a continuing review of the coastal block­ade in ICTZ with a view toward recommending relaxation of re­strictions on fishing where impl"oved security permits. The purpose of this is to increase the daily catch which would subsequently drop the fish price (presently higher than in the U. S. ), 80 the t there would be an increase in p rote in in­take of the Vietnamese in ICTZ. During September, the blOCk­ade from (AT943883) to (AT954885) has been relaxed to author­ize fishing from 2000H.0600H daily. The area from (BT063760) to (BTl05665) has been restricted one kilometer out to sea from the high water ltne ashore vice three kilometers. The blockade from (BT090695) to (BT095685) bas also been relaxed to allow Vietnamese fishermen free transit to and from the shoreline except during curfew hours (2000H-0500H). The blockade on the south bank of Cua Dai River (BT2l0565) to' Thuan Tinh (BT190550) and its tributaries (BT190550) to Hoi An River has been lifted during curfew hours. This should provide improved access to the fishing grounds for the inhab­itants of Xuyen Long Refugee Settlement (BTl63552).

MOB-5 has installed a new fishing pier cons isting of two barges in Danang Harbor (BT034797). Danang city constructed four concrete fish. sheds and an access road to this pier. NSA civic action has provided two thirty-foot poles to bridge the gap between the barges and shoreline. The Mayor will provide planking to form a walkway between the poles. Difficulty has been reported in obtaining cement and rock fill to form an abutment on which the sho~e-end of the ramp will rest. ARVN engineers will design and construct the ramp.

The problem of trash and garbage disposal by U.S. units in the Danang area is being resolved by N SA Publ ic Work s. Re­quests for bids by private contractors for the trash removal have been sent out. Bids opened on 16 September 1969. The successful contractor has been operating aince 1 October.

sol atium payments to victims of ASP-l explosion of 27 April 1969 total $VN 4,480,000 for five hamlets in Hoa Vang District. GVN War Victims Payments to the same five hamlets total $VN 22,312,800.

e. Narrative Summary

(I) General

(a) On 3 September 1969, an announcement was made of Ho Chi Minh's death. PsyOp guidance was received from COMUSMACV and the ICTZ Regional PsyOp Coordi­nating Council met on 8 September to plan exploitation of Minh's death. Amplifying instructions on MACV guidance and results of the I Corps coordinating meeting went out to subordinate commands. A series of tapes and leaflets were developed with target audience priorities established as follows: a) NVA/VC; b) population in enemy controlled areas; c) population in contested areas; and d) population in GVN controlled areas. A thorough review of all propaganda with direct references to Minh was conducted to remove any items that became inappropriate after his death.

(b) Troop redeployment PsyOp focused in Northern I Corps where the remaining elements of the 3d Marine Division commenced preparation to leave the battlefield. A Division Bulletin and PsyOp Annex to their Redeployment OPlan has been

disseminated to all subordinate organizations, stressing the importance of PsyOp during redeployment. Aerial and ground broadcast tapes and leaflets have been prepared locally and by 7th PsyOp Bn. All events and ceremonies in­volving Marines and Vietnamese will be covered by VIS to insure that radio, TV, and newspaper. coverage is obtained.

(c) Several meetings were held this month to improve coordination between PsyOp agencies as troops redeploy and to insure continued PsyOp effort for all other ongoing campaigns.

1 III MAP conducted a Psyop O:rientation Course on 26 September for officers from commands throughout ICTZ. Course objectives were to familiarize officers with 'the PsyOp organization, mission, objectives, campaigns, and assets for III MAF, MACV,JUSPAO, and Vietnamese agencies. Emphasis was placed on III MAP, 7th PsyOp Bn ,and Flight 'IA''', 9th 50S.

(Okinawa) 2 The 7th PsyOp Group/conducted a Leaflet

Dissemination Training Class on 25 and 26 September for pilots and crew members of Flight "A" and 7th PsyOp Bn personnel. The course covered background and theory of targeting, leaflet quantity determination, and technical aspects of leaflet drift and dispersion.

3 On 12 September, III MAF held its monthly PsyOp conference for all US PsyOp agencies, military and civilian, in ICTZ. The nature of the conference was a mutual exchange of ideas on activities, SOPs and problem areas so that agencies might benefit, one from another, in developing new ideas and solving problems.

! A meeting was held on 19 September with representatives of all RVN and US PsyOp coordinators in the Danang area participating. The purpose was to discuss redeploy­ment PsyOp. An overall approach to missions, concepts, objecb tives, and coordination was agreed to.

5 The PsyOp Officer met wi.th Quang Tri officials on 26 September to discuss redeployment PsyOp. The Province Chief has suggested that a "Brigade of Vietnamese Marines" be moved in to physically replace the US Marines. Local officials are aware of the need to reassure the people of their safety and encourage them to be strong.

td) A mass grave site was found 16 krn south of Hue on 19 September. US and RVN officials investigated and

52

• • SECRET @~@~bJ~~~~~ffi@

found approximately 250 decomposed bodies in a shallow grave in a stream bed. These are believed to be the remains of victims of the 1968 Tet Offensive at Hue. When the investiga­tion is completed, appropriate ceremonies, designed for PsyOp impact, are planned.

(e) Enemy propaganda leaflets found by 1st Marine Division used theme of racial inequality of Negroes in Vietnam.

(f) Problems developed with the television translator atop Hill 724. In addition to structural deficien­cies noted in the equipment shelter, technical difficulties have prevented retransmission of the signal from Hue. Force Engineer and NBCI technicians have been notified and are taking steps to rectify their respective problem areas.

(g) An increase in the number of terrorist attacks by the enemy against innocent civilians during recent months prompted III MAF, PsyOp to prepare ICCI 3824.1 to disseminate information on documenting and reporting acts of terror and attacks on population centers. The instruction prescribes policy and promulgates guidance'on procedures to be followed to investigate, document and report such incidents.

(2) Program Evaluation and Results

(a) Chieu Hoi

1 On 25 September, a VC Company Commander named Quyen rallied to Thang Binh District. He is a native of that district. After becoming disillusioned with the failure of the VC to fulfill their promises, Quyen persuaded about 25 members of his unit to Chieu Hoi with him. The Quang Tin Province Chief took the ra11iers through the city and bought them clothes and toiletries and showed them what life was like under GVN control. To demonstrate their good faith, the ralliers disarmed 26 mines and booby traps they had previously set in the district.

2 There were 517 ralliers in ICTZ this month.

That is the third highest total recorded this year.

3 In Northern I Corps, 3d Marine Division reported that thorough indoctrination of NVA soldiers before they cross the DMZ creates problems for the Chieu Hoi appeal. The most effective themes used against NVA emphasize hunger, disease, fear of ambush, and B-52 strikes.

4 Americal Division reported that on 28 September, five VC-rallied to Nui Lac Son Village, Quang Tin Province and brought with them six members of their families. Each VC claimed to have rallied because of an Earlyword Broadcast flown on 27 September in which the Nui Lac Son Village Chief spoke. Printed letters from District Chiefs have also reportedly been instrumental in inducing rally.

(b) Pro GVN

1. The Children's Mid-Autumn Festival was celebrated by several III MAF agencies on 25-26 September. Many village children and orphans received gifts, candy, and fruit from Marines, soldiers and sailors in ICTZ. Danang festivities were climaxed by a moonlight cruise on a junk which was decorated to look like a dragon. The junk, with some 50 children on board, dressed in sailor suits, cruised along the Danang waterfront.

2 Rice denial operations were conducted throughout ICTZ •. lntelligence reports indicated that the enemy was already suffering from lack of food, this campaign was designed to maintain that state of deprivation. Two goals can be achieved in this program: rice denial to the VC!NVA; and education of the people concerning the GVN central sto~age program. 7th PsyOp Battalion has prepared 5 leaflets and 4 tapes for this campaign. One of the leaflets tells that the VC is paying a high price for rice, he is paying with his life.

(c1 Anti-NVA/VC

1 Intelligence indicated growing dissension between NVA and VC-forces in I Corps. A leaflet campaign was conducted to exploit tne distrust and suspicion between the Communist force ••

2 The 5th SFG undertook a campaign to convince NVA troops that the "Liberation effort" was not desired by the people of South Vietnam and that tne NVA soldiers were dying for a useless cause to satisfy the whims of North Vietnamese politicians.

3 Americal exploited sustained contact in H1ep~ DUc area with two leaflets highlighting the thousand enemy killed in action in one week. One target group was the local VC with a message discrediting the NVA capabilities. The second leaflet was aimed at the local population to advertise the defeat of the NVA and to build their confidence in the GVN. This leaflet also solicited information of enemy activity and location of caches.

(dl Effectiveness Indicators

1 At a recent visit to the Quang Ngai Chieu Hoi Center, ralliers were asked what they felt was the most effective medium to induce rally: sixteen said letters received fram friends and relatives; eleven saie leaflets, seven said leaflets and radio broadcasts; and two said radio br~casts. In a previous ViS1t to the center, the following information was given by 30 ralliers as the influencing media Which caused them to rally. Eleven stated face-to-face communication; eight stated letters from friends and relatives; four stated leaflets; four indicated frustrations; two claimed "Earlyword" broadcasts, and one claimed radio broadcast.

2 A previous propaganda unit member who rallied to the GVN-said he left the VC after he saw many inconsistencies in their propaganda. He credited leaflets and radio broadcasts with influencing him to rally.

(el Voluntary Informant program

1 This month villagers reported the location of an NVA rice cache to CAP. A patrol found 150 pounds of rice in tne cache and distributed it to the villagers who reported it.

2 Americal Division paid 10,000 $VN for information leading to the capture of a hamlet guerilla. The location of a food cache and tunnel complex was also disclosed. Information led to the discovery of mines and booby traps in An Tho Hamlet as well as 4,000 pounds of tapioca, and a cave used as a VC/NVA hiding place.

(3) PsyOp Intelligence

(a) While the general trend of a gradual decrease of enemy initiated tactical activity continued, enemy political and propaganda activity continued to remain at a relatively high level. Additionally, the month of September was marked by two important events - the death of Ho Chi Minh and the re­deployment announcement of 35,000 US troops. The death of Ho Chi Minh did not appear to result in any immediate change of previously announced enemy policies. In commemoration of the death of Ho Chi Minh, the enemy initiated a three day truce and appropriate ceremonies, which were utilized to bolster morale and strengthen individual resolve and dedication to continue the conflict in SVN. Numerous reports indicated that the enemy allegedly planned to make intensive use of civilian and military proselyting and propaganda in support of enemy's prime objective of promoting conditions suitable for establishment of a coali­tion government. The reported relative increase in acts of terrorism, particularly attacks on refugee settlements, was viewed as being indicative of enemy'sdet~rmined effort to defeat the GVN's pacification program ·and to portray GVN as being incapable of providing adequate protection for the civilian populace.

(b) The enemy was quick to exploit the announced redeployment of additional US troops. Enemy propaganda directed toward influencing international opinion labelled US troop re­deployment as being a deceitful trick as the number of US troops involved was an insignificant amount. However, the topic of us troop redeployment was used to bolster morale of enemy troops. Enemy troops were told by unit political officers that the redeployment of US troops was the result of tactical defeats and that the Us was deserting the GVN. Enemy propaganda also played upon the existing fear and doubt among the civilian populace concerning the actual capability of RVNAF to render adequate protection and stressed US troop redeployment as being further positive evidence of inevitable VC/NVA victory.

(c) Prominent enemy propaganda themes during the month of September were:

! Present GVN government is a puppet
