a. General Enemy Situation. During the month of June therewere a number of significant contacts although they were scatteredand no pattern of offensive activity developed. The Go Noi Island/Hoi An area produced the most consistant activity. Based uponactivity, PW interrogations and agent reports, enemy forces in thisarea were considered to have recuperated most quickly from lossessuffered during May. Attacks by fire characterized the enemy initiatedactivity during the month. Incoming rounds were regularly receivedat friendly installations along the DMZ, although at times only inthe nature of harassing fire. Toward the end of the month thevolume began to increase slightly. ~his was particularly noticeable

in the Khe Sanh area after the press announcement of friendlywithdrawal from the combat base. Near Khe Sanh, the largestcontacts occurred toward the middle of the month when 186 and 131NVA were KIA by 3/4 (USt~) on 15 and 18 June respectively. PW'sidentified their unit as the 88th Regiment of the 308th Division.Earlier, the 102nd Regiment of this division had been identifiedby PW's and documents, and prisoners taken on 7 and 10 June iden­tified their unit as the 83rd Engineer Regiment. This engineerregiment reportedly had the mission of building a road from the Xe PonRiver (XD 7832), on the Laos/Quang Tri Province borde~ to Hue, whi~the two regiments of the 308th Division would attack Khe Sanh. Aerialphotography confirmed the completion of 30 km of the road but largeattacks against I<he Sanh did not occur~ Additionally, indicationsof the presence of elements of the 304th Division around Khe Sanhbegan to diminish. In the northeastern portion of the province,there were several contacts but major portions of the 320th Divisionappeared to have withdrawn into the DMZ. Toward the end of the monthARVN and U.S. Forces contacted enemy forces east of Quang Tri City.In one contact, the 1st Air Cavalry Division accounted for 225 enemyKIA and 38 PW's. The enemy unit was identified as the 814th Battalionof the Quang Tri Liberation Front. During the late evening hours of15 June approximately 15 unidentified aircraft, believed to beenemy helicopters,were reportedly sighted in the DMZ area. Sincethat time there have been numerous sightings, both visual and byradar, of unidentified, slow-moving UFO's in the DMZ area and sea-ward toward Tiger Island. No hard evidence of these aircraft hasyet been received. In Thua Thien Province the enemy was occupiedwith resupply and assimilation of replacements for most of the month.Enemy units withdrew westward to their base areas in the face offriendly sweep operations. The most significant contact of the periodoccurred on 3 June, 16 km southeast of Hue (YD 970160) when elementsof the 101st Airborne Division and the ARVN Black Panther Companykilled 104 enemy and through PSYOPS broadcasts, induced 86 enemy,primarily from the K_4 Battalion/5th Worksite and the C-117th LFCompany, to surrender. Friendly operations sweeping west intoenemy base areas 101 and 114 met little resistanc~but uncoveredlarge quantities of enemy equipment. In Quang Nam Province fewsizeable engagements occurred, but the pattern of enemy activityindicated that the forces in this area were recovering more quicklythan units elsewhere from the losses sustained during May , In theearly part of June the 26th hlarines had three successive contactseight km south of Hill 55 (AT 985597). From the 15th through the26th of the month enemy activity was concentrated in the Go NoiIsland/Hoi An area and was the center of enemy initiated activityin I Corps. Many caches of arms and ammunition were found in the

•DECLASSIFIED

• I~Iarea from Hoi An to Thuong Duc, the most significant of which wasa 21 June find of a large amount of ammunition and weapons including77 - 122mm rocket warheads, along a trail at (ZC 138647) 12 kmnorth of Thuong Duc. This find appeared to have been hastily aban­doned by the enemy. In Quang Tin Province and Quang Ngai Provinceactivity was at a low level during the month. Two contacts on 5 and7 June near enemy base area 117, resulting in 37 NVA KIA, were be­lieved to be against elements of the 1st VC and 3rd NVA Regimentsof the 2nd NVA Division. On 12 June in 'the same area Americalelements received approximately 30 rounds of 60mm mortar fire, someof which contained CS gas. The enemy also used a portable flame­thrower which was sUbsequently captured. Despite the increasedthreat in the province from elements of the 2nd rNA Division, enemyinitiated activity did not increase. The enemy units probably with­drew from contact to accomplish resupply activities and training ofreplacements. Documents captured on 14 June west of the Dak PekCrDG Camp in Kontum Province, identified elements of the previously.unlocated 21st Regiment of the 2nd i~vA Division. For the most part,activity in Quang Tin Province consisted of harassing attacks byfire, mining incidents and terrorism. The most significant terroristactivity occurred on 29 June when CAP 1-3-4 at Son Tra Village(BT 6201) received a mortar attack and satchel charges. Mortarswere also fired into the village and houses set afire. The firespread rapidly and destroyed 80% of the village. The incident re­sulted in 15 RD Cadre, 73 civilians killed and over a hundredcivilians wounded. Routes 14 and 534 continued to show increasedtraffic and improvements. Photography revealed Route 534 clearedand widened as far as Hiep Duc. Heavy sampan activity was notedalong the Song Thu Bon and Song Tranh Rivers. In Quang Ngai Province,the most significant development was the probable movement of the22nd and 2nd Regiments of the 3rd NVA Division into the provincefrom Binh Dinh Province. This information was given by a PW, amember of the 2nd Regiment, who was captured southwest of Ba To.The PW stated that the Division had left Binh Dinh approximately1 May. Despite the increase in enemy forces in the province, enemyactivity remained at a low level and was characterized by terrorismand mining incidents.
