Army Secretary Sees More Withdrawals Likely
Saigon dispatch reports last week saw lower enemy activity and fewer casualties for U S and South Vietnamese forces. Secretary of the Army Stanley Resor held a news conference and said redeployments are ahead of schedule but refused to specify numbers or timing. He noted progress in Vietnamization, joint operations, and pacification, while acknowledging leadership and logistics gaps remain. A separate update tallied 1,538 U S killed or wounded that week and 398 government troops killed in action.
