Thailand May Send Ground Troops Into Vietnam
Thailand's chief of staff signaled a possible deployment of ground troops to Vietnam after strengthening the understrength Thai army. A plan discussed may field a 700 to 800 man jungle warfare unit, while Dawee kept specifics secret and warned that a decision would follow broader planning and funding. U.S. aid and equipment upgrades are cited as key, with the Thai force described as largely WWII vintage and under strength across divisions.
