Spring Offensive of Reds Expected In Vietnam War Front
U.S. Marines increased to about 35 000 in South Vietnam as the 5th Marine Regiment moved north toward Quang Tri and Thua Thien to bolster defenses ahead of a likely spring North Vietnamese attack. The shift expands maneuver battalions to cover lines of communications and extend control from Con Thien toward Laos as infiltration from Laos grows. U.S. air power, including B52s and Phantom aircraft, struck targets near the DMZ and central highlands after North Vietnamese missile attempts near the DMZ.
