BATTLEFIELD REPORTS. A SUMMARY OF LESSONS LEARNED, HEADQUARTERS, US ARMY VIETNAM. VOLUME 1

Abstract

The document is a compilation of experiences and lessons learned during combat engagements with the Viet Cong. These lessons were derived by US units operating in all areas of the Republic of Vietnam. The purpose of this initial distribution is to give all United States forces in Vietnam an opportunity to share with one another the benefits of their experiences in conducting day-to-day counterinsurgency operations. Tactics and doctrines set forth in field manuals and taught at service schools are sound; however, the soldier in the field doing the job is in the best position to tell us where improvement and changes in techniques can be made.
