LESSONS LEARNED, HEADQUARTERS 4TH INFANTRY DIVISION

Abstract

Since Operation SAM HOUSTON terminated on 5 April and the after action report covered in detail operations, intelligence, fire support, PSYWAR and logistics, this report is an add-on and covers other activities such as civic action, training and base camp development. On 6 April 1967 a new operation, Operation FRANCIS MARION, was initiated by the 4th Infantry Division and continued at the end of the reporting period. This operation began after the Division withdrew east of the SE SAN River to conduct surveillance of the CAMBODIAN border and search and destroy operations in an area of operations generally extending from the CHU PONG mountains north to New PLEI DJERENG. In addition to the primary tactical mission, the Division also supported the Government of VIETNAM's EDAP ENANG program involving the resettlement of approximately 8,000 MONTAGNARD natives and their personal possessions. The Division had one major contact in Operation FRANCIS MARION during the reporting period.
