Plan to Keep 20000 to 40000 U.S. Troop Trainers in Vietnam
Washington reports indicate U.S. leaders may retain 20000 to 40000 troops in South Vietnam after full withdrawal to train and advise South Vietnamese forces. Laird told the Senate committee that trainers would total substantially below 50000 and would perform a different role than the 55000 U.S. troops in Europe. Officials foresee possible complete pullout of combat forces by end of 1970 with about 200000 Americans remaining for air support, artillery, and logistics into 1972 unless Hanoi agrees to a broader withdrawal.
