U S Sends 1000 Marines To Thailand Over Mayaguez Crisis
The United States plans to air about 1000 Marines from Okinawa to Utapo air base in southern Thailand to back President Ford's warning of serious consequences if Cambodia's new government does not release the merchant ship Mayaguez and its 39 crew. Washington also reports the Mayaguez moved to Koh Tang under Cambodian escort as 7th Fleet ships move toward the Gulf of Thailand. Diplomatic and potential military options loom, with Ford and Kissinger stressing a firm response while intermediaries seek release.
