INTELLIGENCE SEC'I'ION

1. ACqUISITION UNIT

a. This reporting period was characterized by a continuation of the slow tempo of enemy activity reported for the month of July. However, two periods of heightened aotivity served to interrupt the continuity of the "hul lt • The enemy initiated offensive surge of 11 .. 12 August, and the 7th Marines' contacts made upon moving into their new TAOR on 20 August, both provided the Acquisition Unit with the only significant de­mands for intelligenoe support oontrolled by this offioe. These demands increased attention towards locating enemy base camps and staging areas, using all available collect.ion assets. This integrated surveillance effort locaten three large base camps and several staging areas of suspected enemy troop concentrations.

b. Ground Reconnaissance. The Acquisition Unit directed the Division ground reconnaissance effort with two areas receiving primary attention. 'I'he Que Son l10untains and lower Anterma Valley areas were the scene of significa.nt and perSistent enemy movement. Sightlngs of large nu.mbers of enemy were mada almost daily in both areas and confirmed earlier re­ports that these areas contained a highly significant LOC, in addition to major base camps. Reconnaissance patrols in these areas have proven to be a most 1ucrative intelligence collection effort for the G-2 Section.

c. ~o lmageH Intertretation Unit. The major assignment of the PIIU for this repor~ng per od concerned the new TAOR of the 7th Marines and their consequent requirement for aerial surveillanoe data base of the new area. This data base was requested as a priority requirement. As a result of outstandi.ng efforts on the part of the supporting units in­volved, the requested data base was provided promptly, and was of the highest quality.

(1) Detector Concealed Personnel (ncp); 3l DCP missions were requested of which three were flown, with a total of 39 indications.

(2) Infra-red CIR); 81 targets were requested of which 69 were flown with a total of 1409 emissions. Definite concentrations of major enemy elements were determined to be on the eastern Ong Thu Slope, Que Son cross-roads, and central Charlie Ridge areas. This information was the basis for extensive supporting arms fi.res delivered on the suspect areas. ~~he ten-fold increase in IR effectiveness when comparing this month's results with those of July can be attributed to a new method of targeting. Beginning the first of August, IR targets were requested on a daily basis versus weakly and emphasis was placed on evaluating in­tellieence reports to discern those areas most likely to be productive for true type of surveillance.

(3) Significant intelligence obtained from detainees included NVA/VC unit attack and withdrawal routes; staging, rally, and base areas; plans and conduct of attacks; and percentage of casualties from the laclc of food and the effect this had on plans, combat effectiveness and morale. Information was developed on the locations of two NVA Regi­ments, three ~WA Battalions, an NVA hospital, resupply pOints within the TAOR of the 7th Marines, and supply and ammunition caches within the TAOR of the 5th Marines. Conclusive information was also obtained concerning casualties, replacements, key personalities, infrastructure in the 5th Harj n~s TAOR, and future missions. This information was accumulated primarily i'rom three detainee groupines as listed below:

(a) The 31st NYA Regiment ""as the source of nine FW's captured by val'iollo units during the 12 August surge.

(b) 'l"he 36th NYA Regiment was the source of eight, !?W's oap­tured dudng Operation DURHAtvT PEAK.

a. I)uring the month of August 1969, Ydt Carson Scout representatives ma:i.nta,inGd liaison with all Division units utilizing KOS's. As of 31 Aueust 1969 115 KOS's were employed by the 1st Marine Divj.sion. These scouts participated in 936 patrols which resulted in eight enemy KIA'sl eie;ht enemy captured and five VO suspeots detained. A total of three weapons wer'e captured and 36 mines/booby traps were destroyed or neu­tralized. Scout personnel additionally participated in 20 Division Psycho~og:i.cal Operations. During the reporting period the KeS' S sustained four WIA IS.

b. Besides rendering normal OI support in protecting the Division against foreign intelligence collection apparatus, during the month of August 1969, Counterintelligence personnel participated in 13 oombat operations ""hich resulted in the e1iminatton of four Viet Cong Infra­structure members. During this period, a total. of 1287 persons were screened against existing blacklists. Of this num.ber 82 were detained for further inVestigation, nine were turned over to various District Headquarters for further j.nvestigation leaving 1278 determined to be innocent civilians.

c. During the month of August 1969, Division units reported expen­ditures for information or ordnance in the amount of 615,690 $VN under the Volunteer Informant Program. There were 351 separate disbursements for the return of ordnanco whioh might have been used against the 1st Earine Division and one disbursement for informat.ion.

3. GftOUND SURVKELLANCE

a. During the period 4-7 August the Ground Surveillance Officer accompanied Colonel ORR, 1st Marine Aircraft "Wing,Ass1stant Chief of start, G-2, on a visit to Nakon Phanom, Thailand for the purpose of familiari­zation with 7th Air Force sensor programs. A tour was made of the Task Force Alpha installation and a briefing was presented by each section re­lated to sensor acquisition and targeting.

b. Ten personnel were joined to the Headquarters Battalion, Division Ground Surveillance section on 11 August from 2d Battalion, 7th Marines. These personnel are employed as monitors on Hill 41, Mike Tower, and rlill 10. They were assigned to this section to preserve the skill and exper­ience they acquired as monitors since November 1968. This is an interim measure and these personnel will be reassigned to a battalion supporting that portion of the Danang Anti-Infiltration System that iljl)~bT to 1st Narine Division. 26 August saw the start of an OJT program for 10 ARVN personnel that will form the nucleus of a ground surveillance section for tho 51st ARVN Regiment. The group included one lieutenant, two war­rant officers, one master sergeant, three staff sergeants and three NCO's. Classes were conducted on 26 and 27 August on emplacement procedures for HI" sensors. The period 28-31 August 'vas spent visiting readout sites at Hill 10" :lil1 37 and Hill 425.

c. On 11 AUb~st a patrol from 3d Battalion, 7th Marines was accom­panied by lJivision Ground SUrveillanoe personnel for the purpose of in­stalling RF' sensors on a heavily travelled traU on Charlie Ridge. A monitor station was located at Hill 37 to readout sensor activations.

d. The Division Ground Surveillanoe Officor and two ground surveil­lance personnel installed three strings of RF sensors on BA NA, a radio relay site west of Danang. A readout station was established on OP Reno (Hill 390) to monitor sensor activations upon the evacuation of the radio relay site.

e. The Phu Loc Valley sensor fields were reseeded with ADSIDS on 23 August. The monitor station was relooated. on Hill 42, to readout sensor

f. In an effort to disrupt enemy resupply efforts and to infliot significant casual ties a new teohnique was developed using the ADSID' s in the Phu Loc Valley. This technique is called the IlAir Ambuahll • It involved the use of sensors along with concentrated employment of Marine attack aviation backed up by field artillery. On 28 August ;~, FAC was positioned on the Hill 425 monitor site and at 1945 he directed fixed wing airoraft on enemy columns passing through the sensor fields. The technique was successful in that a total of 47 lC[A were confirmed as a result of this air ambush.

• 10 days of AUL'1.lSt. Durlne this period of the month, ther€! was a sharp decline in the number of mortar attacks as well as number of rounds ex­pended by the enamy. The most sign:tficant mortar attack occurred two }QJJ southeas t of Hill 52 on the 1st and was directed at K/3/7' s night defensive position. After three rocket-free weeks in Quang Nam Province the An Iloa Combat Base received two l40mm rookets on the 7th and two l22mm rockets on the 9th, preswnably from the 517th Rocket Battalion. A slight increase in Surprise F'ir:l.ng DeviceS/Mines incidents was detected, most notably in the Arizona Area where the 1st Battalion, 7th Marines were

operating. The enenw aVOided sienificant contact possibly de­voting his efforts to rice foraging (although no large rice gathering parties were observed as had been the case the previous month). Enenw forces, principally elements of the 36th Regiment, continued to withdraw in a flurry of rampant disorganization from the central Que Son 1,1ountains" moving first south then east and west before the advancing allied forces involved in Operation DURHAM PEAK. The enemy offered little resistance or indication of will to fight as evidenced by the extensive mediotl sup­plies, ordnanol and numerous personnel too sick or badly wounded to tra­vel that were left behind. (Operation DURHAM PEAK was terminated on 13 Aueust resulting in 75 NVA/VC KIA, 19 Ri's and two Hoi Chanhs).

(2) During the first third of August there were no significant contacts reported either in the central .():Ji!i northern portions of the Division TAOR. Sightings consisted of a few small enemy units observed in the mouth of Elephant Valley. Charlie Ridge was quiescent I However, a recon team operating five ID-1 northwest of Hill 52 (vicinity ZC 1859) found evidence of new base camp construction. Terrorism in southeast Rieu Duc District continued.

(3) In the Arizona Area, an unsuccessful ene~ attack was launched n~ainst clements of H&S Company, 1st Battalion, 7th Marines on the 5th, most likely by units of the 90th NVA Regiment. IR returns, the shootinc out of an attempted recon team insert vicinity (ZC 7945) and a wounded Pil from the 13th Recoilless Rine Co~any, 90th Regiment captured 2 August who indicated that the 90th Regiment was located in the vicinity (ZC 1735) and that the 577th Rocket Battalion was looated sou~h of the Arizona,added further evidence that elements of the 90th were in the hills south of the Arizona and maintaining a presence within striking distance of the southwest part of the An Hca Basin.

(4) Although the enenw activity appeared directed primarily at rice collection and base camp construction in preparation for the on­connne monsoon, evidence pointed to the period 10-20 August as a com­nlUnist tlhieh point" and that the enemy's offensive would take the form of widespread small scale sapper raids and attacks b1 t~ against allied posit:l.ons •

(5) The surge of ene~ activity heralding the beginning of the long expected "summer offensive" oomms.nced on the night of 11 August. Attacks by fire involving rockets and mortars occurred throughout the province, as well as scattered ground attacks directed primarily at u. S. and AHVN military installations and positions. Shortly before midnight 11 Aucust, a 1st Marine Division recon OF located just south of the Ari­zona Area (Hill 146 vicinity AT 8245) received a substantial grounp probe which d~veloped into a night-long attack and ultimately found the ene~ employing mortars, RPG's, grenades, satchel charges as well as small arras fire against the position. The Division Command Post area, princi­pally the Headquarters Battalion Motor Pool, and Headquarters Battery, 11th l1arines, was the intended target of sappera attacking at approxi­mately 0200 the 12th. The enemy force, later identified by PW's as elements of the 8th (102d) Battalion, 31st NVA Regiment, purportedly entered the area from staging areas on the eastern slopes of BA NA Houn­tain striking from the west and north utilizing grenades" satchel charge[', bangalore torpedoes and RPG's. The attacks continuing until dawn, were repulsed and the enemy withdrew leaving behind nine KIA's and ultimately five R'JI s. As a final gesture, a largely ineffective volley of 121 122JlU1l rocket rounds were received. At approximately the same time as the Sth Battalion, 31st Regiment was attacldng the Division Command Post area, the 9th Battalion (103d)" 31st NVA Regiment launched aitoilar ,-attacks against the 3d l'111itary Police Battalion area, the 44th ARVN Artillery Battalion and the Hoa Cam Training Center south of Hill 327 leaving six NVA lITA and four PW's behind when forced to withdraw.

(6) Ground attacks continued on through the early morning hours of the 12th. Targets of these attacks included the Reconnaissance OP high atop HI\. NA Mountain (ZC 2070). The CAP 2-7-3 position located five RN south of the Cam I,e Bridge (BT 0166) and the F/2/l Conunand Post at the leprosarium located seven 1m south of Ha.rble Mountain (BT 0966). Mortar a.nd rocket attacks were widespread, the most noteworthy being those directed against Hills 55, 37, and 65, An Hoa Combat Base, Harb1e Mountain A:i.r }4'acili ty, and the 1st Hili tary Police Battalion.

(7) The light of d8~m on the morning of the 12th brought no re­spite as hoth the 1st and 2d Battalions, 7th Marines established early morning cont-Rcts. 1st Batta1ionb contact, in the Arizona Area developed into a series of close and bitter battles lasting until the evening of the 13th. During two days of heavy contact, 1st Battalion, 7th ~larines (Rein) accollnted for 224 enemy KIA's with both the 8th and 9th Battalions, 90th NVA Regiment absorbing the brunt of the punishment. In addition to inflicting heavy casualties, lllany weapons and much equipment were captured.

(8) G/2/7 operating west of the Dai La Pa.ss (Vicinity AT 9174) engaged an unidentified enemy force inflicting two KIA's. The enemy force was probably elements of the 31st Regiment withdrawine to the

west from the action in the vicinity of the Division Command Post area.

(9) By mid-August, the level of enemy activity tapered off con­siderably but not before scattered attacks by fire .. Tere directed against refugee crunps and their associated RF/PF units as well as two small lob bomb attacks against USMC forces on Hill S5 (AT 9762).

(10) Acts of terrorism direoted at the civilian populace in­creased significa.ntly during the first half of August. This increase was particularly noticeable in Danang City and eastern Hieu Duc District.

(11) There was a noticeable increase in the enemy's efforts at LOC interdiction as evidenced by the intensified route mining, destruc­tion of several culverts, and the destruction of the Thanh Quit Bridge on Route //1, four:m1 northwest of Dien Ban.

(12) Considerable ene~ troop movoment was observed principally in the southwestern Que Son Mountains between the 13th and 16th of the month which was interpreted as movement of enemy units returning to base camps they had evacuated during Operation DURHAM P.E:AK.

(13) In the weeks following the summer offensive high point of 11-12 August, enemy activity remained at a level slightly higher than that experienced preceeding the high point. During this period enemy act.ivity was characterized by a series of spasmodic ground probes accompanied by a flurry of widespread and generally ineffective attacks by fire, including eight rocket attacks. The incidence of mines and booby traps encountered, increased.

(1!~) ~'he next significant surge in activity occurred on the 19th. Once again, attacks by fire and sapper attacks characterized the action: A/1/1 located south-southwest of the Cau Do Bridge received 60mm mortar and RPG fire followed by a sapper raid; Marine Aircraft Group-16 received nine to ten l22mm rocket rounds followed by a brief but sharp raid by elements of the 3d Sapper Battalion further followed by 11 x l40mm rocket rounds. During the early evening hours of the 19th, Companies L, M and HiVE, 3d Battalion, 5th ll!larines received approximately 120 mixed rounds of 122mm.rockets, l2Qnm, B2mm, and 60mm mortars plus an unknown number of n.PG rounds in the most intense attack by fire reported since early March. Other 1CfH:> sienificant attacks by fire were scattered throughout the Di­vision rj'AOi~. The level of aotivity ebbed on the 20th and 21st only to rise once aGain on the 22d. The enemy's 2d, but less dramatic round of eround prob~s and rocket and mortar attacks comrr~nced at 220200H when H/2/5 locnted two ]{1-1 east of Hill S2 (AT 80SS) received heavy 60mm mortarJ IU'G and small arms fire. Shortly over two hours later (OliLS), M/3/S op­cratine: in the central Arizona Area received a similar attack and An Hoa Combat BaSEl received its second rocket attack of the week (4:l l~'2mm rockets).

the northeastern Arizona Area sustained heavy small arms and RPG fire from an estimated enemy platoon.

(15) The' enemy strove to maintain the momentum of his faltering offensive on the 23d by initiating ground attacks against elements of 2d Battalion, 7th Marines at Landing Zone ROSS, 2d Battalion, 5th Marines in the northern Arizona Area, 3d Battalion, 26th Marines one and one half la'1 southeast of Hill 190" and the E/2/26 security force operating with the Danang Anti-Infiltration Barrier installation crew two KM southwest of Hill 324.

(16) A marked increase in ene~ sightings occurred during the week of 17-23 August; particularly in the western Arizona Area" Que Son Moun­tains and Phu Loc Valley. With the possible exception of the Que Son sightings" all enemy activity suggested enellliY logistical movement. In the Que Son Mountains muoh of the enemy's movement was assooiated with units returning to base camps hastily evacuated during Operation DURH~l PEAK, as the enemy shifted some of his efforts from offensive activity to logistical associated undertakings. Several series of sightings of enemy rice gathering parties were concentrated in the Phu Loe Valley area and on the east-west trails located both north and south of Antenna Valley: on 24 August, recon team ItTURF CLUB It observed 200 enem;}'" moviilg variously east and west in the Phu Loo Valley (AT 982472 - BT 001476); on the 25th the same movement pattern was observed involving 80-90 and finally on the 28th an IlAir Ambushl! was sprung on 50-60 enellliY moving 'West to east resul­ting in a confirmed 41 enemy KIA.

(17) An attempted pre-dawn sapper attack on the communications facility atop Hill 327 on the 24th by approximately 28 members of the 9th Company, 9th Battalion, 31st Regiment 'Was stopped short of its objeotive by the Division Command Post perimeter at a oost of three NVA KIA and two ~1's captured. Once again, the pattern of terrorist activity established and concentrated in Hieu Duo Distriot continued.

(18) Contact was established with an unknown size enemy force in the southern Que Son Valley by elements of the 7th l1arine Regiment on the 23d. Commencing shortly after midday, companies G and H, 2d Battal­ion, 7th Marines received light to heavy small arms fire while operating approximately eight KM southwest of Landing Zone ROSS (AT 9728). In the early morning hours of the 24th, 1/2/7 received 50 rounds of enemy mortar fire while in a night defensive pOSition three KM west of Landing Zone ROSS and the 2d Battalion, 7th Marines Command Post located on ROSS re­ceivod an estimated 33 ChiCom grenades and an unknown number of RPG rounds. Respondine to the obvious enemy build up in the area west and southwest of Landing Zone ROSS, 2d Battalion (-)J 7th Marines commenced sweeping operations in that direction on the 2,th only to come under in­tense mortar fire upon setting in for the night. In the ensuing three days (26-28 Aur,ust), elements of the 7th Marines were to become bitterly

engaged with an unknown sized enemw force entrenohed in the Ram Hills (AT 9529 - 9828) and the southern Que Son Mountains bordering the southern Que Son Valley. This enemy force was later identified by PUiS, Hoi Chanhs and captured documents as major elements of the 2d NVA Di­vision in the person of the 1st VC Main Force Regiment, elements of the 31st (Al~: 3d) Regiment and oombat support units of the 2d Division (spacifica1ly the GK 31 (Anti-aircraft> and GK 33 (Artillery) Battalions). Then on the 28th contact with the ene~ ceased as abruptly as it had be­gun on the 23d, with the 1st va Regiment apparently withdrawing to the west and northeast and the 3d Regiment retreating to the south and sou~h­east. The enemy departed leaving only small forces behind to delay and harass USHC forces while the major manuever forces successfully executed their Withdrawal.

(19) The 29thl 30th and 31st were extremely quiet and free of significant ene~ initiated contacts with only minor attacks by fire and ground probes reported throughout the Division TAOR. The lull in the enemy activity lent support to the contention that the enemy was preoc­cupied with repositioning his torces and conducting logistical operations. F~er~ foraging activities continued up to the end of the period with significant reconnaissanoe sightings of ene~ units lightly anned and carrying heavy packs, particularly in the Phu toe Valley, Arizona Terri­tory and the Khe Suoi Noi Valley.

e. There was a general apathy on the part of individual Marines to the inherent espionage threat posed by LNC employees having access to varied areas on cantonments.

3. Action. Commanders will conduct a review of the LNC employee situation aboard the'il' caHtonlllents to insure:

a. Compliance with current regulations.

1. Purpose. To publish procedures and guidance for the distribution and control of General WALT Scholarships for needy and desening Vietnamese students. .

2. Cancellation. DivO 5080.6B.

3. Backgro und

a. Statistics available show that of the many children who enter the lowest grade of primary school in I Corps, only a ver,y few remain to grad­uate from high school. Surveys have shown that theungle most important factor causin~ dropouts is the lack of sufficient funds within the in­dividual Vietnamese family.

b. The General WALT Scholarship is designed to benefit those needy student. who show promise as future leaders as indicated by their good academic standing. The benefits are in the form of a monthly payment to the parents of these deserving children to help defray the co st of send­ing the child to school.

c. Because the aJOOWlt of funds for General WAJ.-T Scholarships is limited, commanders are encouraged to set up \Ilit funds with donations coming from the unit itself.

d. In view of the fact that approximately 20~ of the present student population attends secondary schools, at least thatpercenta&e of available scholarships should be awarded to students.at that level. ivery consider­ation should be given to keeping secondary school students in school.
