A People's Army for South Vietnam: A Vietnamese Solution

Abstract

A lack of men, money, and guarantee of U.S. continued provision of funds to support South Vietnam's defense establishment at current levels makes it imperative for South Vietnam to reduce the economic and social burden of its defense, while maintaining adequate security. A program is suggested by which much of the Vietnamese defense burden could be shifted to a people's army composed of local militiamen and members of the People's Self-Defense Force, allowing reductions in the regular armed forces.
