War strategy in Vietnam may shift emphasis after Westmoreland

A full review of United States strategy in Vietnam was underway before Westmoreland’s replacement is certain to bring some modifications in both strategy and tactics. Sources expect changes in emphasis rather than complete departures, with ongoing use of search and destroy and pacification in populated zones. The plan emphasizes heavy forces in wilderness operations, border areas, and pacification efforts around key installations.

Westmoreland’s firepower strategy under heavy critique

The piece surveys American views on General Westmoreland’s Vietnam tactics, highlighting heavy artillery and air power as the defining approach. Critics warn the strategy scars land, drives civilians from cities, and questions persist about its effectiveness against the North Vietnamese.
