U S Troops Turn Over Mekong Delta Brigade Post
U S troops handed over the Cai Lay Fire Support Base Moore to the South Vietnamese 7th Infantry Division as part of Nixon era withdrawals. The transfer shifts delta combat duties to Vietnamese forces while about 7,400 U S troops of the 1st Brigade prepare to move to Hawaii. A Ranger patrol of the 3rd Brigade ambushed two sampans, killing six enemy combatants, with no U S casualties. The lull in fighting continued across Vietnam, though some small unit actions produced deaths not in daily reports. In Saigon, about 3,009 students were summoned for a month of military training amid protests and a government extension of exam study periods. The Soviet Union launched Molniya 12 communications satellite to link central Russia with distant regions.
