I n t e l l i g e n c e Estimate of the S i t u a t i o n i n I Corps Zone (I CTZ) Republic of Vietnam ,

1. General. This estimate has been prepared to b r i n g the s i t ­uation i n the I Corps Zone, RVN up to date i n order to f a c i l i t a t e preparation of a Commander's Estimate f o r Operations i n the zone.

2. T e r r a i n A n a l y s i s . .

a. With the exception of c o a s t a l areas, the I Corps Zone does not lend i t s e l f to large scale m i l i t a r y operations. I t i s bounded on the north by the DMZ and on the west by the poorly defined 227-mile border with Laos. The zone i s d i v i d e d i n t o a populous and comparatively narrow c o a s t a l p l a i n and a mountainous region which extends to the west, north and south outside the l i m i t s of the Corps Zone. Separating the two regions i s a zone of piedmont three to f i v e miles i n width which i s l e s s densely s e t t l e d than the p l a i n and which supports dry farming. The western p o r t i o n of the zone i s an ex­tremely rugged mountainous jungle with peaks r i s i n g to 6,000 f e e t . The jungle growth has three l e v e l s : (1) a c l o s e l y matted growth covering the f l o o r and r e s t r i c ­t i n g movement to a maximum of three miles a day cross country; (2) a t r e e l a y e r r i s i n g to about 70 f e e t ; and (3) another l a y e r r i s i n g to about 170 f e e t . Both of the upper l a y e r s provide a canopy which r e s t r i c t s obser­v a t i o n and permits unobserved movement on the ground.

b. The most important road i n the I Corps Zone i s N a t i o n a l Route # 1 . This route o r i g i n a t e s j u s t south of the D e m i l i t a r i z e d Zone, g e n e r a l l y p a r a l l e l s the t r a c e of the coast southward and f i n a l l y terminates at the c a p i t a l c i t y of Saigon. There are three s i g n i f i c a n t east/west roads, a l l of which j o i n with National Route # 1. Route # 9 g e n e r a l l y p a r a l l e l s the DMZ and leads i n t o Laos. Route # 14 leads west and southwest from Danang i n t o Kontum Province. Route # 74 o r i g i n a t e s south of Quang Ngai and terminates at Kontum C i t y . With the exception of Route # 1, the roads i n I Corps are g e n e r a l l y charac­t e r i z e d by sharp curves, steep grades and loose surfaces They are subject to l a n d s l i d e s and washouts during the r a i n y season. USMC forces have constructed a d d i t i o n a l roads f o r l o c a l use. The longest s t r e t c h of newly con­structed road l i e s between Danang and the area of An Hoa (approx. 20 m i l e s ) . The enemy has continuously harassed and sabotaged the roads i n I Corps.

3. F r i e n d l y S i t u a t i o n . Within the I Corps are the 1st and 2d ARVN I n f a n t r y D i v i s i o n s , Headquartered at Hue and Quang Ngai r e s p e c t i v e l y . These d i v i s i o n s are augmented by a separate i n f a n t r y regiment, three ranger b a t t a l i o n s and, o c c a s i o n a l l y by Vietnamese Marine and Airborne u n i t s from the General Reserve.
