U.S. Vietnam troop buildup nears 525000 as new brigades ship in
A U.S. Command spokesman said nearly all American combat units will be in Vietnam by end of January, raising total troops to about 525000 from 478000. Four American brigades, about 20000 men, are in place, with more units and artillery to follow, mainly in I Corps and central highlands. North Vietnamese buildups are expected to offset part of the increase, while Marine choppers remain short and delta duty remains limited.
