$1000 Per Viet Soldier Funds Aids For South Vietnamese
The United States plans to spend over $1,000 per soldier next year to equip the South Vietnamese army. Defense Secretary Melvin Laird said the first 25,000 U.S. withdrawals, announced by Nixon, will heavily favor Army and Marine units while support forces stay to assist. The plan includes equipment like troop carriers and night vision gear, with South Vietnamese forces projected to grow to about 875,000 by year’s end.
