*South Vietnam: Enemy activity in the Dak To area
was again confined to mortar fire against allied posi-
tions on 16 November.
Enemy shells caused little damage yesterday; how-
ever, on the 15th four separate barrages totaling some
90 rounds inflicted US losses of 20 killed and 22 wounded.
In addition, the shelling on the 15th destroyed several
million dollars of US materiel. It is possible that Com-
munist units around Dak To--the North Vietnamese 32nd
and 66th regiments--may have withdrawn temporarily
to group and resupply.
This slackening in the pace of the enemy attack will
probably be short lived. The scene of the action may
shift soon to an area north of Dak To where South Viet-
namese units have encountered heavy fire during the
past three days. The North Vietnamese 24th Regiment
is believed to be in this area.
On 15 November elements of the US 25th Division
in Tay Ninh and Hau Nghia provinces suffered 32 killed
in enemy mortar barrages.
There has been a lull in the fighting around the Loc
Ninh area since elements of the enemy's 9th Division
shifted to areas next to the Cambodian - Binh Long Prov-
ince border. In adjacent Phuoc Long Province, indica-
tions are that the North Vietnamese 88th Regiment has
moved into positions around the town of Song Be. It
may be getting ready to assault an allied position near
Song Be or along Route 14 in hopes of luring an allied
reaction force into an ambush.
