IN SPITE OF AIR INTERDICTION, EI0XK LOGISTICAL SYSTEM
CAPABLE OF SUPPORTING FORCES AT AN AVERAGE OF 55 TONS

CONTINUE TO HAVE AT LEAST THIS CAPABILITY PRQVIDTNG TT,E
ENEMY PUTS FORTH ENOUGH EFFORT TO COUNTER k$ OUR AIR ATTACKS.

25X1A
PRIMARY COURSE OF ACTION TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ENEMY LOGISTICAL
VULNERABILITIES (I.E., LENGTH OF LOC'S, LIMITED NUMBERS OF
MOTORABLE ROUTES, PROXIMITY OF ROUTES TO FRIENDLY AREAS, ETC).
