Reds Change Strategy In Viet Warfare
In Da Nang South Vietnam the Viet Cong battalions once built for conventional battles are being split into small units to return to guerrilla warfare. U S intelligence and field reports note reduced enemy resistance during large searches, with battalions breaking into squads and individuals to evade large-scale pursuit.

The plan to counter emphasizes hunting the hard core and using psychological warfare.
