The War in the Delta: Views from Three Viet Cong Battalions
Abstract
This study focuses on VC regular-force battalions 261, 263, and 514. It suggests that the fragmented structure and compartmentalization characteristic of such units, together with a pervasive control and surveillance system, may have been the main supports of cohesion in the ranks despite highly adverse developments which, under a different military system, might have prompted widespread demoralization.
