Senior Officer Debriefing Report: II Field Force Vietnam and Third Regional Assistance Command

Abstract

Present plans call for a combined tactical and advisory headquarters for the region. The remaining US combat troops will form a highly mobile and powerful reaction force, capable of moving anywhere on a moment's notice to counter an enemy threat or to supplement Vietnamese forces. The outlook for Vietnamese forces is one of cautious optimism. While the fortunes of the Vietnamese people, the Armed Forces and the government continue to rise, the task is not yet complete. The enemy is patient, persistent and implacable. Complex economic and social problems face the GVN. Its leadership is stretched thin. However, it has the upper hand at the moment. Political stability, economic progress and social reforms should see it through. Remaining U.S. forces will provide training, logistical, and airmobile support to the Vietnamese.
