FOUR PAPERS ON THE VIETNAMESE INSURGENCY. 2. COUNTERINSURGENCY AND SOUTH VIETNAM: SOME ALTERNATIVES
Abstract
A review of alternative counterinsurgency systems and of the present war in Vietnam suggest that we need to separate the people from the insurgents more positively than the districts can do in isolation. This appears to require deep fronts of patrolling, both area saturation and what is called a thickened perimeter. On the basis of this set of assumptions the forces which might be required and the degree to which present deployments might have to be altered are discussed.
