Vietnam War Situation Outlook From 1964 Assessments
Officials assess a range of factors that could favor South Vietnam against the Viet Cong though results are not yet in. They note Viet Cong monsoon strikes but weak supply lines, while South Vietnamese forces exhibit superior mobility and firepower. U.S. air support remains partly available, and ground combat bears mainly on 582,000 Vietnamese troops with 53,000 U.S. personnel. Bombing targets remain military, not population centers, and peace talks have been rebuffed.
