LESSONS LEARNED, 1ST INFANTRY DIVISION

Abstract

During this report period the 1st Infantry Division continued to conduct combat operations designed to locate and destroy Viet Cong and North Vietnam Army forces and installations in the III Corps Tactical Zone. These operations have contributed materially to the extension and consolidation of GVN control and influence throughout the 1st Infantry Division TAOR and adjacent areas. The Civic Action program now known as Revolutionary Development, has been expanded and continues to play a key integrated role in the division counterinsurgency effort. The National Elections held in September served as a good indicator of progress being made toward providing a more secure environment in the III CTZ. In spite of VC efforts to disrupt the elections through the use of terror tactics, over 80% of the eligible voters went to the polls in the III CTZ. In addition to conducting combat and area pacification operations, the 1st Infantry Division acted as host for new US troop units arriving in country during the reporting period.
