Cambodian Sweep Ends Unproductive 10000-Man Mission
South Vietnamese forces concluded a five day push in Cambodia east of the A Shau valley, pulling back to Highway 7 after failing to find North Vietnamese units. The operation aimed to harass the 7th Division and protect Hue and coastal towns ahead of the August 29 elections. U.S. helicopters supported ground efforts and artillery was redeployed as American troop strength in Vietnam fell to 229,200 last week.
