Thesesorties delivered 3,211-tons of ordnance on selected targetswithin this area of operations. Helicopters lifted 2,292passengers and 710-tons of cargo and supplies to the Khe SanhCombatý ase.

2. New Developments. This period was highlighted by numer-ous Company and Battalion size tactical helicopter lifts inexploitation operations to cover enemy contacts and cordonoperations to seal off the enemy's escape routes. The major-ity of these operations were in the "Leatherneck Square" andDong Ha area and contributed to an excel3ent enemy kill ratiofor both air and ground. The "killed by air" (KBA) reac~diiavery creditable figure of 836 for this period.

1. GENERAL

a. Command Emphasis. The FSIC continued to monitor theselection of proper ordnance and fuze to attack the target. Toassist in the improvement of artillery employment, the FSICprenared a special study of the use of artillery against troopsin the open. The study was based on 3d MarDiv fire reports andtheoritical weapons employment data obtained from FM 6-141.The study included tables showing the proper number of rounds(WEB or Select) and correct fuzing to be used against troopstargets rangir, in size from a squad to a battalion.

b. P"•:•aning TPQ-O10 Air Strikes. The submission time forprepl, ..A TPQ-10 air strikes was reduced from 24 hours to 5hours prior to the strike. This reduced submission time allowsthe use of more current target information, better' selection oftargets, and closer integration and coordination with groundoperations.

c. Reporting fire support data. The supporting armsemployment data base was exnanded significantly in May bythe addition of the artillery fire reports for the SCO0TLANDAO. Communication difficulties and the distant location ofthe SCOTLAND AO orecluded inclusion of the data in the Dastwithout causing an unacceptable delay in availability of theweekly report.

PFSCC efforts during May in sup-,port of the planning for THOR include briefings of:

(1) CG 3dMarDiv

(2) PCV and III MAP Staffs

Additional support consisted of the nreparation for higherheadquarters of a special computer target list of the land areawest of north-souith grid line YD 20, and north of the eastwest grid line YD 80.

5. ARC LIGHT.

a. Target nominations were generally distributed equallybetween SOCTLAND AO (Khe Sanh) and in the northern KENTUCKYAO and Eastern DMZ. Rapidly develoning enemy threats in theKhe Sanh area resulted in requests for in-fl4ght diversionson two occassions.

b. G 'eater demand for strikes in other areas in Vietnamhas resulted in a requirement for a more current and detailedintelligence justification to sunDort a target nomination.Higher headquarters has placed additional emohasis on obtaininga Bomb Damage Assessment after each flight. During this monthheavy commitment of aerial observers to troops in contact andcounterbattery missions curt - led both the acquistion of tar-get intelligence and Bomb Damage Assessment. A stronger emDhasisis planned in bnth of these areas. In addition, efforts arebeing made to follow AuP strikes with some tvDe of ground ex-ploitati on.

Approximately 33% of the total rations fed dailyconsisted of Meal, Combat, Individual and approximately 67% weresubsisted on Expeditionary Force menu. The Expeditionary Force Menuis based on MOO P10110.17, Chapter 4, Marine Corps ExpeditionaryForce Menu (Tropic) and both perishable and non-perishable componentsare utilized.

(2) Selected items of equipment such as helmet liners, the canvasfirst aid pouch, and M-7 bayonets are critical throughout the Division.

(3) T/A deficiencies in Engineer, Motor Transport, Ordnanceand Communication equipment are becoming acute. The lack of T/E re-placements has caused the 3d and 11th Engineer, 9th Motor Transport and3d Shore Party Battalion to be in a degraded CREQP status.

9 CIVIL.AFFAIRS

I. Revolutionary Development

a. The main feature of the RD Program in Quang Tri Pro-vince for the month of May was the harvest of rice. The GVNwith U.S. assistance concentrated on denying the enemy as muchharvested rice as possible by transferring it to province anddistrict warehouses. RD Cadre Teams extensively participatedin the rice denial operations. At the end of the month, approx-imately 86% of the province's rice crop had been harvested.Only 53% of the rice harvested had been brought into secureareas, but the enemy had been denied some 79700 tons of ricewhich he might have otherwise obtaidtd. The rice denial pro-gram was to continue for four weeks after the reporting periodfor this Chronology ended.

b. N•' unexpectedly, the benefits to the rice.denial cam-paign froin the use of the RD battalions were at the expense ofsecurity to the people of many'previously pacified hamlets.The RD teams were again in May well out in,front of their sup-porting battalions. Therefore, several heretofore pacified ham-lets were lost to the enemy. Additionally, and in part con-sequently, the rather free use of friendly air and artillerysupport during subsequent sweeps of the RD areas destroyed mostof four Ap Doi Moi hamlets and severely damaged three others.

c. Hopefully offsetting these detrimental developments inthe Revolutionary Development Program are several encouragingones. The vigor, drive and leadership of the RD chief continuesto be a vital inspiration to the program. The RF, PF, RDPG andRD Cadre, units were generally successful in accomplishing theirterritorial security missions. The eighteenth RD team wasformed during May, and recruiting has progressed well towardsthe goals set for 1968.

SUMMARY REPORT - BATTLE OF DONG HA

During the early morning hours of Monday 29 April 1968,

a culvert was destroyed by explosives on Route #1, only a

few miles north of Dong Ha.

Battalions from the 2d ARVN Regiment, checking out

this not too unusual incident, suddenly encQuntered stiff

enemy resistance --- moretthan they could handle. A company

size tank - infantry force was dispatched late that after-

noon by 3d Marine Division to alleviate the pressuve on the

ARVN west flank. They too encountered resistance near Cam Vu,

some 6000 meters west of Route #1. The NVA apparently now

occupied a position in some depth astride and west of Route

#1.

LCUs moving along the sea-supply route to Dong Ha were

taken under fire by enemy small arms and recoilless rifles

(RPGs) early on Tuesday 30 April. As a Marine platoon1u 04C ofk jocindeoci vltv6

patrolled'the river bank near Dai Do,(only 1500 meters from

the bridge at Dong Ha) they engaged a well dug in NVA unit

of unknown size. The parent company and theArthe battalion

(2d Battalion, 4th Marines) reinforced the patrol, using

well learned amphibious techniques in making necessary river

crossings. The resulting engagement clearly showed that the

enemy wanted to stay; they were well camouflaged in over-

headed bunkers in the now fortified villages scattered through-

out the area.

S 0Thus began the Battle of Dong Ha; not aa an unexpected

attack on ARVN or US positions but as a discovered signif-

icant infiltration, uncovered by forces responding in a

normal manner to not uncommon incidents.

In the days that followed, the tactical mobility of

Marine and Army forces was the deciding factor in evicting

the enemy from the battle scene. Between 29 April and 16 May

3d Marine Division quickly movedd forces into the battle area

to exploit initial successes and cut off routes of withdrawal

or reinforcements 3/ 2 1an Army Light Infantry Battalion,

capably augmented Division forces. The two Battalion

Brigade of the 1st Air Cavalry Division and two and one-half

Marine infantry battalions were shifted from other 3d Marine

Division operating areas to engage the enemy. Artillery and

air missions reached new peaks as enemy positions were

detected and saturated by supporting arms fire. A new operating

area was established, re&cL~J 14 ARusJ Au Aoa I wit thu * sVA(Calf
