Documents of an Elite Viet Cong Delta Unit: The Demolition Platoon of the 514th Battalion - Part Two: Party Organization

Abstract

The report presents a collection of translations of Viet Cong documents pertaining to the structure and functioning of the People's Revolutionary Party (PRP) in a demolition unit. Control is vested in a Party Committee at each territorial echelon (from Region to Village) and is exercised through the Committee's Military Affairs Section, which governs the units in its area. The documents, including minutes of meetings, organizational guides, moral codes, and members' self-criticisms, recount in detail the activities that take place in the system. Of special note are the meetings to resolve problems of military discipline and effectiveness.
