The Mekong Delta in Vietnam rises from Tibetan snows to the South China Sea, a vast, waterlogged region where U S troops face mangroves, mosquitoes, red ants and swampy ground. Viet Cong strength has surged to about 80,000 with 6,000 new recruits monthly, while three Vietnamese divisions struggle to control the delta.
