DAM HOW (AM PHUQW) states the following about ambushes. Ambushes set 

-by AR"N's were often discovered at night because of smoking, use of per- 

, f ~ ed 0,s... a . -not c4 eI,#k. iig and checking weapons. 

Wfen art awbush vas dAscavred,: the gioup would change direction. These 

same faults could possibly be applied to our own ambushes. The use of 

shaving lotion, ded*orants,' cvghin$, checking weapons are things that 

appear to be, human naturo. There have also been a few indications that 

ambushes have fired on the efieri point instead of waiting for the main 

body of the force, The enediy- quite often let our point and a good portion 

of the main body pess before they ilitiate an ambush. These tactics and 

the means by which, the enemy detects our a*bushes should be made available 

1to every ron i1*0ved in betting p,, am3dush.

Troui Bridge and a two mile section south of Phu Loc. 

c. Maintenance of Route 9. The 11th Engineer Battalion is responsible 

for maintaining Route 9 from Dong Ha to Lang Vei. Bypasses must be continously 

maintained as the majority of bridges on the road are limited to class 

16 traffic. Between Thon Son Lam and Khe Sanh are four bridges that have 

'--- destroyed by the enemy and three with very poor decks that must be bypassed. 

There is also a washout that must be spanned by tactical bridgirfor 

vehicles larger than a 5-Ton trur',. The major bridge is the bridge ( oK0 

the Rao Quan River which requires an4L'-fixed span bridge to be emplaced 

prior to convoy movement to Khe Sanh. The 11th Engineer Battalion suppor..s 

convoys to Khe Sanh by opening the road to traffic when required. 

d. Operation Cumberland. Elements of the 11th Engineer Battalion completed 

the clearing of a Fire Support Base west of Nam Hoa on Route 547.

DECLASSIFIED 

a. The 32d Naval Construction Regiment be3pe operational in late 

August. This Headquarters, which is located in,dia Le, will have 

operational control of the MCB's in the 3d Marine Division area. The close 

proximity of the NCR Headquarters to 3d Marine Divisio- 2e4uarters

',- nstruction Battalions. 

NSA Public Works Maintenance detachment in Phu Bai became 

1 in August and is accepting work requests for maintenance, 

repal, and alterations to facilities and minor construction projects. 

The detachment also has responsibility for the Phu Bai central water 

and electrical distribution systems.

at Phu Bai has released 200,000 square mY.te's of land from an elect.. 

easement that had previously prohibite, -. u..ý-uction. 

6. UTILITIES AND WATER SUPPLY 

a. The lack of rainfall during the Summer months led to a serious 

. r shortage throughout the Division. Most seriously affected was 

fnu Bai where stringent water controla -:ere imposed for a brief period 

before late month rains brought ,lr 

b. The Phu Bai central water distribution system now provides nonpotable 

water in Third Division and FLSG-A areas. However, lack of a 

filtration system has thus far Drevented the production of potable water0 

c. The electrical power situation remains quite serious, Operational 

assets continue to decrease as generators wear out, brc-ekd.cn, or are 

damaged by enemy attacks. The division input to the generator rebuild 

program in August was five while only one was returned. The 3d Marine 

Division now has 56 camp power generators on hand and 54 in the rebuild 

program, Several times during the month units were without power for 

periods up to several days when breakdown occurred with no replacements 

ailable. 

7. SUB-ZONE COORDINATOR 

a. The Sub-Zone Coordinator concept ac implemented on 1 August with 

the assumption of duties as Sub-Zone Coordcitor, I rr-ps Tactical Zone 

by MajGen B. A. HOCHMUTH. On 15 August Sub-Zone Coordinator Instruction 

5400.1 was published outlining the Northern Sub-Zone Coordinator organizational 

structure and task assignment. During the month nine additional 

o;CI were promulgated and work continues toward the publication of a corn-. 

plete set of directives governing the conduct of all military personnel

1. Refugees 

DECLASSIFIED 

CIVIL AFFAIRS 

a. During August no new refugees were generated. Temporary and 

permanent refugee camps conttnued to receive aid froa Vietnamese sources. 

The 1 st Amphibious Tractor Bettalion at the mouth of the Cus Viet River held 

a modified County Fair Operaloen on 26 August at YD 33967 to assist the 

Vietnamese Refugee Service and CORDS in erogiastering -the'population and 

distributing caimedities. 

b. At Cam Lo the brick factory oparta& by:thee reftgees was put 

in service during August. Initially a goal of 500 bricks per day was 

set for a production output quota. The project is underv,the joint management 

of CORDS and Cam Lo District Chief with the 11th Engineer Baualion 

furnishing a plant supervisor. A school far the refugee camp was the 

first allocation of bricks.' This project was 66% complete by 31 Augusto 

c. In other developments at the Cam Lo refugee camp a 750,000 gallon 

reservoir was completed by the 11th Engineer Battalion. On 16 August 

the laying of pipe for the water intake commenced from the Cam Lo Riverg 

but a series of mining incidents has delayed this portion of the project. 

2. RevOutionary Development 

a. Thua Thein. Lack of commodities and concentration of GYN effort 

on the Presidential and Senatorial elections were responsible for the 

slow down in the revised plan for RD in the second semester hamlets of 

this province. In the RD hamlets enemy activity was moderate and generally 

directed toward acts of terrorism and propaganda in an attempt to disrupt 

the upcoming elections. Fifteen VC incidents resulted in the following 

friendly casualties: 1 RD worker KIA, 7 RD workers WIA, 1 civilian 

assassinated, 1 civilian VIA and 3 civilians kidnapped. Political problems 

are of increasing concern as accusations and counter-accusations of 

military and RD cadre involvement in election campaigning for their 

Presidential canidates are being made. RD cadre are said tombe favoring 

the Dai Viet Party, contrary to Ministry of Revolutionary Development 

policies on the subject. 

bo Quang Tri. The general mood in Quang Tri's RD program has been 

one of tension with emphasis on the defensive posture during August. The 

death of the RD Control Group Chief, Captain BACH VAN CAN, and a VC attack 

on Trieu Phong District and RD CaLpaign Headquarters undermined the confidence 

of the people. Political implications were also present in 

the death of Captain VAN CAN since he was a functionary in the Dai Viet 

Party and was at odds with some RD leaders. As in Thus r"hein Province 

7 secoAd semester RD teams were delayed in moving on 31 August because 

of the elections. Self help projects in all RD hamlets continued to progress 

despite the negative influence of the above facts. In 6 contacts

a. Agriculture. The pig projects started in July continued to progress. 

Two swine production schools were held in Thuy Chau and Leo Ben 

Villages. CORDS and the Provincial Animal Husbandary Department personnel 

(Hue) participated in the classes which had an attendance of 75 people. 

Sixteen rice threshing machines were distributed in the Huang Thuy and 

Phu Leo Districts during August. Other machines distributed are 1 to 

Khe Sanh, 2 to Phong Dien District and 4 to the Deng Ha area. 

b. BDCAPS,. MEDCAPS/DEICAPS continued to progress at an increase 

ever earlier months. For the second month this year approximately 

48,000 patients were treated in the 3d MarDiv AOR. A Cholera epidemic 

in Thuy Luong and Thuy Tan Villages broke out on 19 August. The local 

populace was innoculated by teams from FLSG-A, Provincial Health Service 

and Combined Action Platoon corpsmen. Serum was supplied by CORDS. 

Doctor WILLIAMS, M. D. of the Hue, MACY staff, spoke on the Provincial 

Hospital (Hue) at the monthly AEDCAP meeting held on 23 August at 3d 

Medical Battalion. 

c. Fooeed for Work. . In Quaig Tri Province the foeed for work program 

sponsored by CORDS continues to offer employment to many Vietnamese 

families around Deng Ha and Camp Carroll combat base areas. This program 

pays local workers in USAID commoditio6 for filling sandbags based on 

a fair market price for labor in the area. In the Khe Sash area a 

similar program using rice for payment is employing 60-70 laborers a 

day for base housekeeping chores. Each of the programs is woking 

satisfactorily and has furnished additional labor forces which otherwise 

could not be hired, 

d. Loaistics. Local civilians continued to be banned from using 

military aircraft flying to or from Kho Sanh during August. Road 

traffic is now closed as bridge abuttments wore destroyed and a military 

convoy was attacked on route 9 south of the Rockpile. This means all 

logistics to Khe Sanh must move by air and in addition all civilians 

are isolated in this area. 

Two Marines were assigned to the CORDS staff, Doeng Ha, during 

August to assist in warehousing USAID commodities. In addition, Division 

meter transport units have continued to assist CORDS and Province officials 

of Quang Tri and Thua Thien in transporting commodities due to the shortage 

of local vehicles in these organisations. 

o. Third Marine Division Vietnamese Scholarshii Fund. During the 

month 53 students of Thua Thien received benefits from the scholarship 

fund. Expansion of the program to Quang Tri Province is new in progress 

with applications due in September from this area. The II MAF General 

WALT Scholarship Fund is being used in conjunction with the Division fund 

to give an added financial base to the program.
