OPERATIONS

1. GENERAL. 3d Marine Division offensive operations during September continued to be oriented toward the destructim:i of the NVA 320th Division. That enemy f01:-mat:.r:~, after loitering north of the central DMZ, had moved southeast during August and was turned back with heavy losses in the latter part of that month. In the ini tiaJ. days of September, the 3d Marines in the Razorback:-Rockpile-Camp Carroll area made several cc:::hcts with the 52nd Regiment. Later, as the 9th Marines completed operations on the Nui Tia Pong hill mass, 10 kmL west of the Rockpile, that Regiment with organic. batta1i2_n_s and JL4, 2/3 and 2/26 commenced offensive operation into the Dl·1Z. Sharp engacements with snall enemy units characterized these operations in which the 3d Marines joined. Additional huge caches .were uncovered in and just south of the DMZ. Among the captured material for the month of September was over 32 tons of rice, 5t tons of salt, 593 individual weapons and 49 crew served weapons. Ammunition captured included 23,000 mortar rounds, 4800 mines, 13,000 grenades, 266 artillery rockets, over 5,000 RPG and recoilless rifle rounds, a million and a quarter round~ .. of small arms and anti­aircra.f't machin~ gun ammunition. Twelve and a half tons of explosives were captured throughout the many storage complexes uncoverd. The large munber of NVA killed during the month (1399) and the huge quantity of supplies captured, including over seven hundred weapons, were indicative of the heavy mauling taken by the 320th Division.. Capture of these huge quantities of supplies cut short acy offensive the NVA had plaxmed for the early monsoon period.

2. N.APOLEDN/SALINN. Throughout the month of September, 1st AmTrac Bn conducted small unit operations from Cua Viet, C-4 and Oceanview while Co C, 3d Tank Bn conducted operations in the vicinity of Jlzy- Loc,

At the beginn:ing of the :nonth, Co c, 1/11 and Co c, 3d Tank Bn con­ducted a one dey search and clear operation in the vicinity of Nhi Ha with the mission of destroying bunkers and levelling the buildings remaining in the village. There were no si~~ificant ground__l3-_t_"t~<::ks._ ____ _
