Analysis of Offensives Engaged by U S Forces in Vietnam
U S officials describe defensive postures and limited operations as contradicting claims of broad offensives. Units from the 196th Brigade Americal Division and the 101st Airborne have reoccupied firebases near Da Nang and Khe Sanh to restore security, with casualties including eight killed and numerous wounded. The 101st, operating near the Laotian border, emphasizes maintaining security within its area of operations while South Vietnamese forces handle patrols elsewhere.
