Vietnamese Get Their Feet Wet In Mekong Delta
In the Mekong Delta the first air strikes were flown by a South Vietnamese unit with no American advisers as intermediaries. The 2nd Battalion, 10th ARVN Regiment called in air support and marked friendly positions, reflecting a broader Vietnamization move. Advisers are being withdrawn from most battalions as two combat training teams replace them, with phasing out in the next two weeks.
