Army Marine Outfits Tapped for Viet Exit
The U S command said two brigades of the 9th Infantry and a regimental landing team of the 8th Marine will withdraw from South Vietnam by the end of August and be replaced by South Vietnamese troops. The first unit to go is a 900-man infantry battalion airlifted to the continental U.S. for inactivation, with about 16 000 men in the first withdrawal. The move is part of Nixon’s 25 000-man replacement plan, as a task force continues work in Hawaii. The Marines have been based at Dong Ha in I Corps below the DMZ.
