MEMORANDUM FOR: Mr. Robert W. Komer
Special Assistant to the President
SUBJECT : Revolutionary Development Cadre Teams
1. Forwarded herewith as Attachment I is a list of the
Revolutionary Development Cadre Teams by Province as of 1 January
1967 and the number of personnel assigned each Province from Class III,
as requested by Mr. Holbrooke. This tabulation represents the latest
available information regarding the provincial deployment of the RDC
and was forwarded to us in a 25 Jan 1967 cable from Saigon.
2. In regard to the column entitled "lass iII," we have been
informed by Saigon that the personnel figures shown here cannot, at
this time, be broken down into 59-man teams. Most of the personnel
graduated in this class will be used as fillers or 19-man augmentation
increments to PATS, and the remainder will form new teams. We can
state, however, that after the final breakdown of Class III is completed,
there will be 394 teams as opposed to the 1 January-reported total of
362. When the specific breakdown of teams is obtained from the Ministry,
we will revise and update this initial summary for your office.
