New Ratio For Callup Is Set Up
Washington reports Pentagon thinking favors an 8 to 1 manpower ratio for South Vietnam insurgency needs. An 8 to 1 plan implies about 650,000 more U.S. troops, while a 10 to 1 would require about 900,000. Current totals hover around 83,000 to 100,000 additions planned by year’s end, still short of the 8 to 1 target.

Calculations Lower Troop Needs Amid Viet Cong Shift
Troop strength calculations are reduced as Communist forces expand their numbers and bigger units. The rationale is that larger Viet Cong formations are easier to engage, shifting tactics away from hit and run toward open warfare.
Viet Nam Forces Near Seven Hundred Thousand Anticommunist Reach
The estimate places Communist troops at about 165000 against roughly 500000 Vietnamese soldiers plus 83000 Americans and several thousand Koreans Australians and New Zealanders. A 100000 man rise in South Viet Nam’s forces would push total anti Communist forces toward 700000.
