American Military Commitment Expands in Southeast Asia
A Washington correspondent reports that the U S military presence in Southeast Asia is expanding beyond Vietnam. About 273,000 U S personnel are in Vietnam with projections to 400,000 and up to 550,000 overall including Okinawa, Formosa, Japan, Guam, the Philippines, and Hawaii. The Laos program remains disputed, with thousands of troops reportedly there despite Geneva limits. Thailand hosts 20,000 U S personnel and bases as part of a broader buildup with airfields and naval activity supporting Vietnam operations.
