Guns Flown To Bu Dop Special Forces Camp
US Air Force transport planes moved 18 armored personnel carriers and six antitank guns to Bu Dop camp 80 miles north of Saigon after reports of enemy armored movement near the Cambodian border. Clerical notes say tanks and APCs had not been sighted. North Vietnamese tactics use light amphibious tanks farther north. The campaign entered its third week with averages of 68 percent higher enemy attacks than the year’s low, and officials expect another surge around Sept 1. President Nixon postponed a decision on further troop withdrawals amid rising activity. Resor will present findings to Nixon for guidance on future deployments.
