First Review of Phasedown of United States Military Activities in Vietnam

Abstract

With the Department of Defense (DOD) now being engaged in reducing U.S. combat operations and related military activities in Vietnam, the General Accounting Office (GAO) has undertaken a series of reviews of policies and procedures being applied in the phasedown and of results being attained. GAO's objective is to identify problems being encountered, focusing particularly on the logistics aspects, and to bring these problems promptly to the attention of the responsible military commanders and the Secretary of Defense while the phasedown continues. This first GAO report is directed primarily to matters connected with the third incremental reduction in troop strength (50,000) completed April 15, 1970.
