Chieu Hieu program sparks defections to South Vietnam
The Chieu Hei program has led 149,000 defectors since 1963 from Viet Cong and North Vietnamese groups. Defectors face 60 days in processing centers with screening and aid, then decide whether to join a Chieu Hei village or be drafted. The program creates employment and housing incentives but also raises concerns about stability and public support.
