Major shift as South Vietnamese take over base camps near Saigon
South Vietnamese troops assume offensive operations from U S forces over a 100 square mile area north of Saigon. Four American bases along the Saigon River are handed to South Vietnamese control. Cu Chi base camp and parts of the 25th Infantry Division area shift to Vietnamese command as U S troop levels drop to about 368,000. The move aligns with Nixon withdrawal plans aiming for 284,000 by May 1 and a further 24,000 by December 31. A separate Cambodian-Vietnamese force advances behind tanks toward a Communist base camp near Phnom Penh with minimal contact.
