Biggest Viet Cutback Starts
The last American units defending South Vietnam borders begin withdrawing in the largest single cutback of the war. About 6,095 troops in 40 Army units are pulled from combat zones as part of Nixon’s phased plan to reduce U.S. forces from 241,000 toward 184,000 by December 1. Major withdrawals include the 1st Brigade, 5th Infantry Division and the 173rd Airborne Brigade, with completion slated for August while some troops remain in Vietnam for reassignment. Casualties last week totaled 21 U.S. troops killed, with South Vietnamese and enemy deaths also reported.
