Nixon orders 50000 more Vietnam troop pullout by April
President Nixon announced a 50 000 troop withdrawal from South Vietnam over four months with April 15 as the deadline. He warned North Vietnam of strong measures if enemy action endangers remaining forces while citing cautious optimism from observers and U S leaders. The South Vietnamese army bore the brunt of fighting, with Saigon forces sustaining higher losses but taking on more combat duties. Thieu said the move aligns with Vietnam's gradual increase in responsibility.
