SUBJECT: THE MILITARY SITUATION IN SOUTH VIETNAM
Government operations continue to make little progress
in the northern provinces. Strong resistance from communist
units well dug in on the approaches to a strategic high
ground position south of Hue and limited air strikes due
to poor weather have slowed the government drive to retake
the position. Heavy fighting in the lowlands of Quang Ngai
Province have forced South Vietnamese leaders to commit
reinforcements to the on-going battle there.
A number of small-scale communist attacks, largely in
the form of shellings, have occurred in scattered areas near
Saigon and in the delta provinces.
