COMBAT INTELLIGENOR SECTION
1. PRODUCTION
a. During the first week of December 1967 the G-2Order of Battle, Plans and Estimates, Target Intelligence,and Drafting sections were combined into a singleProduction Branch. This combination was directed towardbetter management and o4ganization of sections withinG-2, and increased effectiveness and response in pro-ducing sound, timely, integrated intelligence for allcommand levels of the Division. Overall efficiency inthe several sections has been significantly improved bythis combination, although their separate functionsremain unaltered under branch coordination and control.
b. Order of Battle initiated a new approach toevaluation of intelligence on a continuing and a day today basis. This approach is "Pattern Analysis" andemploys successive overlays depicting numerous types ofenemy activity to form a graphic representation of allsignificant enemy activity, sightings, contacts andagent reports, etc., supported by a coordinate register.Graphic representations form patterns which lend them-selves to analysis and rapid exploitation more readilythan the previous system. Order of Battle during Decemberinitiated a detailed nightly intelligence briefing forthe G-2 Staff and other interested persons, and theproduction of a weekly Order of Battle update to allunits in the AO.
c. A special Order of Battle summary was compiledfor SLF 3/1 (Operation Fortress Ridge) in conjunctionwith SLF 3/1's December landing north of Cua Viet. De-tailed information on enemy unit strength and dispositionwas supplied on a continuing basis to Target Intelligenceand Plans and Estimates for use in their respectivefunctions.

A special background brief on the DMZ Frontwas written and presented on three occasions: to theCommanding General and the Chief of Staff, to the staffofficers of 3d Marine Division Headquarters, and at DongHa to approximately fifty commanding officers and S-2officers in the area.

2. PROBLEM AREAS
a. f .tA. The shortage of office supplies and stationery continuedto create adinistrative problems. Inadequate supplies of monoblocksfor Battery BBh41, AN/PRC-25 modules and antenna bases, and comunicationcenter supplies hampered communications operations. In addition, repairparts for the M22 Mighty Mites, Multi-Fuel vehicles, and heavy engineerequipment were critical and the lack of these parts resulted in a highdeadline rate for these equipments.
b. Transportation. Over-taxed lines of communication presented thegreatest logistic problem. All three basic modes of transportation -land, sea, and air were used to the maximum. Each mode had to operateat peak efficiency in view of the high priority programs competing forthe available transportation. Construction of the Quang Tri Complex,Dye Marker, and the normal daily resupply continued to compete fortransportation during December. Division convoys continued to augmentthe transportation assets of III MAF and FIC as well as provide maximumtransportation to Northern I Corps.
c. Services. Laundry facilities and the number of bath units inoperation in the 3d Marine Division area of operation continued to beinadequate.
d. Maintenance. Short supply of repair parts for accomplishment ofsecond and'third echelon maintenance continued to hamper maintenanceefforts of the Division. Inadequate third echelon maintenance supportfor IXENON searchlights resulted in a high deadline (13 of 20) of theseitems.

1. Refvgees
a. Thua Thien Province
(1) The month of December has seen no new influx of refugees geh-orated by military operations. However, it has been confirmed t,at ap-proximately 255 families in Quang Dien and Phu Loc districts have movedshort distances from VC controlled areas into more secure GVN territory.These were completely voluntary movements. Limited commodity supportwas provided by the Provincial Refugee Service, which has managed to ac-complish some significant actions to improve the life of refugees in theProvince. However, this has been with extremely limited activity on thepart of the Refugee Service Chief, Mr. Bai. He withholds the distributionof commodities stockpiled in the Service's warehouse. Further, Mr. Bai'sunwillingness to request authorization to make expenditures in the im-portant areas of education, health and sanitation facilities for reset-tlement camps has stagnated many efforts in Thua Thien.
(2) In Phong Dien District the recently generated refugees fromOperation LAM SON 140 in November 1967 were miserable in their temporarytent shelters, suffering from cold and dampness. Mr. Bai claimed to beunaware of the condition. In Quang Dien, flooded conditions prevailed inthe resettlement center of 500 homes due to the heavy rains. In Phu Loadistrict, the Bang Lang refugees have been awaiting the arrival of cermentand tin roofing to go ahead with construction of their homes. Tanxsportat-ion and distribution of materials was organized by the Hamlet officials andthe Refugee Advisor.
(3) Wells are badly needed in Phong Dien, Quang Dien and Nau HoaDistricts. On i Deceiber 1967, 5 cement castings for well constructionin Vo My Camp, Phong Dien District, were transpDrted by two 3d Karine Div-ision trucks. The assistance of the Provincial Public Works Chief has beenenlisted to construct the needed wells with the use of refugee labor. The8th Platoon, 29th Civil Affairs Company has finished a complete survey ofall Civic Action needs in the Phong Dien/Quang Dien Districts of the Proviice,with emphasis on the pressing requirements of the two large refugee ca;psestablished in those districts upon the relocation of 4,400 refugees fromthe "Street Without Joy" area during November 1967. The results of thissurvey have been used to plan and arganize Civic Action projects in the dis-tricts for implementation during let Quarter, CY 1968.
b. Quang Tri Province
(1) The Refugee Service Chief disbursed the entire resettlementbudget and asked SCRI, Saigon for 25,000,000 additional piasters of which10,000,000 have been thus far received. 86,000 piasters were used to com-plete construction of a sawmill which employs refugees. An additional 500,000 piasters were loaned to the Sawmill Management Council to purchase suf-ficient logs far the production of commercial lumber in adequate quantities.

(2) Stockpiling of disaster-relief commodities in Quang Tri Pro-
vince, using limited available warehouse space, began to provide immediate
aid for future refugees that may be generated. Further, a Public Health
Doctor began a comprehensive, three month program of medical treatment in
refugee villages. The special air-lift to Ehe Sanh and sea-lift to CuaViet of refugees did not begin so planned due to non-availability of a Car-
ibou and the silting of Cua Viet which prevented LSTs frman landing.
(3) Unemployment problems in Quang Tri seemed to be directly as-sociated with the refugee problem. In areas of large numbers of "unofYic-ial refugees", there was unemployment. Advisory effort was directed to-
ward establishi?g small: imndu•y .and heomxAtt nari ts e &llefitte -the, n-,employment situation.
(4) None of the refugee camps, other than at Cua Viet and Huong
Hon which received deliveries directly from Danang, regularly receivedeither CORDS commodities or SOR foodstuff support. This was caused by thegeneral logistics problems of the CORDS/GVN system in the Province and the
lack of truck transportation. Transportation for refugee support continuesto be a major problem area in the Province, as is recruitment of GVN per-sonnel for the Provincial Refugee Service.
(5) Refugees were the object of increased enemy attention, as in-dicated by stepped-up VC attempts in the Cam Lo area to induce the refugeesto return to VC-controlled areas. The principle VC concern seemed to bethat the refugees represent lost manpower and food supplies, which have be-come more and more critical for them in recent months.
2. Revolutionary Development
a. Thua Thien Province
(1) With the Provincial RD Plan year neaving t4e end, all hamletshave been or are in the process of being completed. Project completion ison schedule with no major problem areas. On 16 December, the Provincial
Survey Team, composed of a representative franm the 11th DTA, who conductedthe inspection, and the RD Chief and the District Chief of the respectivedistrict, started inspecting the 67 hamlets. To date, seven haulets havebeen inspected and all were accepted and approved as being completed ham-lets. During the inspection a marked interest on the part of the hamletpeople as to the outcome of the inspection, hamlet affairs in general, andthe willingness to participate in the area of project building was noticed.
(2) Military support for the RD Program remained the same as inNovember. Three battalions of the 1st ARVN Infantry Division, three RFcompanies and fourteen PF platoons continue to provide a good securityscreen for the RD effort. The PF platoons are still understrength in some
RD areas. Enemy activity against the RD Cacre Teams during December remainedlow with only two RD/VC contacts; both in Phu Vang District. Elements ofthe K-1 Battalion are believed to have launched a mortar attack on 6 Decem-ber against Nam Hoa Subsector and the Earine Corps rockcrusher, and an at-tack on 21 December on PRU Headquarters in the vicinity of YD766202. The

attacks resulted in six killed and six wounded for the first attack and six-teen killed (15 civilians) and 66 wounded (59 civilians) far the latter at-tacko
(3) The 1968 Province RD Plan is complete. This plan is consideredto be demanding but realistic and very compatible with the situation ex-isting in the Province. The Province staff is now in the process of pre-paring the 1968 Pacification Plan.
(4) A program for in-Province training has been drawn up by RD Head-quarters. This training has long been desired and should start functioningin January 1968. B^cause of the shortness of the Vung Tau Course, thetechnical RD CaOre is not adequately prepared to completely and success-fully carry out its total mission. The advanced in-Province trainingwill utilize personnel of the Vietnamese technical service agencies asinstructors, which should aid both sides in the learning process. Two vil-lage/hamlet officials training courses were conducted during the month, withan attendance of approximately 109 officials.
b. Quang Tri Province
(1) The security situation showed a iýarked improvement during Dec-ember. This resulted in substantial progress in the completion of projectsby RD Cadre TeaLus throughout the RD priority area. The continued locationof the I st harines near Quarlg Tri City and 3d Marine Division operationsconducted in the areas to the west and southwest of the RD priority areawere of primary importance in shielding previously pacified areas and per-mnitting the RD Program to function. The improved security resulted in nota single incident taking place against Quang Tri Province RD Cadre Teamsduring December.
(2) In December, 1st ARVN Division farces continued to perform verywell in support of the RD and pacification programs. Three battalions ofthe 1st Regiment remained in direct support of these programs, preventingany significant enemy interference. The Regiment continued to conduct com-bat operations on the outskirts of the primary RD area, creating a defen-sive atmosphere for the enemy. Regional Forces (RF) directly supporting theRD Program did not change in December. The Populnr Forces (PF) assignedto the RD and pacification programs continued to be used primarily for sec-urity missions. In December, training and logistical support of theseunits was emphasized, which should begin paying dividends in 1968. Regional-nd Populrr Force units continued understrength, which limits performancein both RD and pacification support and in coibat operations.
(3) The cold, wet weather in the first two weeks of December slowedthe flow of cormodities to the field and made construction work in RD ham-lets difficult. This slowdown was offset by many courses conducted forhamlet and village officials, and for RD and Static Grievance Cadre. Byrid-month, the weather improved and work in the field accelerated. Despitethe holidays and weather, the revised iD Prdgram for 1967 appeared to be onschedule. There also was considerable energy expended in drafting the Pro-

vince Pacification Plan for 1968. The "town meeting" concept continuedto develop with GVN officials assuming the responsibility of calling themeetings and achieving meaningful results.
3. Division Civil Affairs/Civic Action
a. A&riculture
(1) IR8 Rice. 15 experimental fields were planted in Decaember inThua Thien Province. Each of these fields is located next to two othertypes of rice fields (i.e. the normal variety of rice grown in this area,plus an improved version of Vietnnamese rice). Harvesting is expected tobegin during May 1968.
(2) Pla Projects. All 10 pigs now being raised in pig projectsin Thua Thien Province continue to progress well. Their weights range from115 to 175 lbs. Breeding of the 9 gilts and 1 boar will begin in the monthof January 1968. une-nalf cz eacn litter will be given to Division G-5 todistribute further to other famers and thus expand this project.
(3) Rice Threshers. A total of 55 rice threshers loaned to farmersby Division G-5 were used for the Fall 1967 rice harvest. The agreementmade with the farmers was that they would either purchase the machines fr3,500 SVN at the end of the harvest or return them to Division G-5. 32farmers purchased the threshers. It is expected that 9 other machines willalso be purchased. The remainder are being collected by G-5 for reissueduring the Yay 1968 harvest.
(4) Ducklin Project. On 5 December 1967, the 3d Anti-Tank Bat-talion presented 296 ducklings to the Hamlet Chief of Bach Thach Hamlet,Phu Loc District in Thua Thien Province, for distribution to the peopleof the hamnlet. Funds in the amount of $50.00 for this project were donntedby the Protestant Chapel Fund, U.S. Naval Air Station, Seattle, Washington.During the duckling presentation, 271 people received 1MEMCAP treatment. Barsof soap and soap powder donated by the Tam Campfire Girls, American Legionof Chicago, and several relatives of a Marine of 3d Anti-Tank Battalion werepresented to the villagers. A large bundle of clothes donated by the Over-seas Wives Club of Jacksonville, North Carolina, wae distributed by theHamlet Chief. Ten bags of cement were given to the Hwalet Market Placewhich was a previous 3d Anti-Tank Battalion Civic Action project. Thebqmlet's conmerce has increased to such a degree it is necessary to enlargeit. HUB-121 Doctor and Chaplain accompanied 3d Anti-Tank Battalion on thepresentation.
b. Food for Peace. This program conductcd in accorjiance with PublicLaw 480 by which Vietnamese workers are paid in the form of commodities fortheir labor continues to expand. The following is the status of the variousunits' projects
(1) 3d Marines/Comp Carroll. A total of 42 workers per week are be-ing employed to fill sandbags and cut/clear fields of fire. Salad oil andbulgar are used in payment of wages.

(2) 4th 1arines/Camp Wavns. This project began on 8 December 1967with 225 workers per week (about 50 per day) being employed to fill sandbags.45,000 sandbags were filled from 8-31 December 1967. Rolled oats, cookingoil and wheat are the conmodities used in payment.
(3) 9th Marines/Dory Ea. An average of 100 workers per day are be-ing employed to fill sandbags. Payment was in salad oil during December.
(4) 26th Marine/Khe Sanh. The Food for Peace project continues tooffer needed employment for 1ontagnard (Brou) families in the Khe Sarb area.An average of 27 Brou were employed daily by the 26th Marines for camp traahdisposal and sanitation, camp maintenance and working parties in the Khe SanhAirfield landing support site. Payment for the services was made in rice.
(5) 1st 14Marines/Quang Tri. A Civic Action project involving roadrepair by 42 refugees from Hai Phu Village began on 5 December 1967.

It also provides euployLent fortLe refuiees in an pro where unemployr'nt exists. ,:P~L480 comodities frm,
c. Logistics
(1) The 3d I•rine Division Civic Actioa program and logistical sup-port continued to be devoted toward compleienting the RID effort and operatingin areas outside and adjacent to the hD priority areas. During this month,the 3d •arine Division continued to furnish logistics help to CORDS and GYNagencies. Transportation of commodities has been one of the major contrib-utions. The Division G-5 warehouse issued 9,078 items of commodities tounits in support of Civic Action prqgr~ans during December.
(2) The continuation of full operations by the Quang Tri Airfieldassisted the RD effort in Quang Tri Province. CORDS use of this facilitywas promptly coordinated by the Senior Province Advisor and significant ben-efits were gained by CORDS in overcoming problems in logistical transpor-tttion. The location of the airfield and its security force continued tobe an effective deterTtnt to VC forces attempting to penetrate the RD prior-ity area frou the west.
