Senior Officer Debriefing Report: 18th Engineer Brigade
Abstract
During the 12 months ending 3 May 1970 the application of Engineer effort in the I and II Corps Tactical Zones has changed significantly, in consonance with the policies to Vietnamize the military operations and to pacify and strengthen the economy and political structure of South Vietnam. During this period the proportion of total Engineer effort in support of US troop units has remained relatively constant. However, the specific tasks are considerably more related to relocating US units from forward areas being turned over to ARVN and to supporting US units in pacification and regional development of populated areas. At the same time, the major Engineer effort once assigned to base construction is now being expended to build a primary road system. Thus the 18th Brigade effort devoted to strengthening and developing the economic and political structure of South Vietnam increased many fold this past year to become our present major requirement. The discussions which follow will be divided into three major categories: support of regional development and nationhood; support of US and Free World Forces; other items of interest.
