Movement and Present Location of the
325th NVA Division
Mr. Helms has sent us a copy of a memorandum (Tab A) on the. movement
and present location of the 325th NVA Division which notes the following:
-- The Division could have been moved south to insure coastal defense
(some of the best landing beaches are in Ha Tinh Province) or could be
rapidly deployed.to the DMZ as a reserve force should this become necessary.
Most probably the 325th has been moved south to provide flexibility in
either repulsing Allied landings on the southern North Vietnamese coast
or in reinforcing troops south of the DMZ. In any case, it was hardly
needed in the Hanoi/Haiphong area where it was stationed prior to the
move south.
