Predicted Vietnam War Escalation in 1966
Saigon officials predicted that if the conflict continues military activity will intensify in 1966 as U.S. strength in South Vietnam reaches 181000. The year saw 4585 enemy deaths, 1241 American deaths, and 11000 Vietnamese government troops killed, with enemy strength rising to about 230000. North Vietnamese infiltration, regiments in place, and new artillery and antiaircraft elements were noted, but officials said the initiative rests with the Vietnamese people and allied forces.
