Major Cutback Looms In 60 Days For American Forces In Vietnam
The report outlines a planned reduction in U S troop strength in Vietnam to eight infantry divisions and several brigades. The 25th Division has been in place since January 1966 guarding approaches to Saigon alongside the 1st Infantry and 1st Cavalry Airmobile. Officials say withdrawals will be by unit, with key personnel possibly transferred. Pentagon declined to confirm specific actions for the 25th. Defense officials cite three conditions for withdrawal including Paris talks on mutual troop withdrawals, a reduced combat level, or greater South Vietnamese forces taking the lead.
