Shift in Troop Deployments Threatens Southeast Asia Strategy

U S military experts warn that aggressive North Vietnamese offensives may force a rise in planned troop levels in Southeast Asia. Marines in I Corps are reinforced by Army units, spreading thin coastal areas while risking Viet Cong reoccupations southward. Debate centers on manpower needs, defense barriers, and a proposed cross-border fortified line through Laos and South Vietnam to curb infiltration.

VIEWPOINT: U.S. troop shifts in Vietnam face limits

The piece notes limited progress of pacification as troop withdrawals and shifts in I Corps may slow gains. Experts warn North Vietnamese divisions could threaten provincial capitals, while U.S. and Marine commanders see shifts as a temporary fix. With 438,000 troops in place and an upper ceiling near 470,000 to 480,000, permanent solutions require greater forces.

The poll reflects favorable general support with concerns over explaining the war to the public.
