11. Intelligence.    Enemy activity in and around 2d CAG was at a low rate in the beginning of the month. As in the past, when the enemy decreased his overt activity mine and booby-trap incidents rose. Deaths and injuries were kept at a minimum in June because of the employment of War Dog Teams. The dog teams caused the enemy to withdraw his emplaced mine for fear of discovery. Many of the mine incidents during June utilized command detonated dud rounds. These mines were placed in areas that the CAPs frequently covered, or stayed during the day. This type of emplacement was an ever present danger in those TAOCs which are small, and thereby restrict movement of the CAP. On the first of the month two command detonated mines took the lives of one USN, two PFs and one Vietnamese civilian, wounding four Marines and one KCS. The initial mine, a 155mm HE round exploded in CAP 2-7-4's day haven site. The second mine was command detonated as CAP personnel and civilians inspected the crater caused my the first mine.
   Captured documents revealed that the continued presence of CAPs in Quang Nam Province had caused the enemy supply reserve to drop. Through searches and patrols by day and night, both enemy rice caches and movement to and from these rice caches, have been found and stopped. Out of the VC special zones in Quang Nam Province, only one is producing a surplus, all other zones can't produce and move enough rice to support troops in the area.
   The caches that were found in June, such as the one found by CAP 2-2-2 in Dai Loc District on the fifth, were small isolated deposits of rice. Each time such rice is found it is distributed to local villagers.
   On the eleventh of the month the first mass movement of enemy troops was reported by a 2d CAG small unit. CAP 2-2-4 initiated fire on an estimated thirty VC detected by the use of a PSID and starlight. The enemy platoon returned fire with 60mm HE rounds, automatic weapons fire and small arms fire. An 81mm mortar mission was called by the CAP on suspected enemy locations. A sweep of the area disclosed 2 VC KIA, two AK-47 rifles, three M-26 grenades, seven ChiCom grenades and assorted NVA web gear. The NVA web gear is significant as it is an indication that this unit was similar to units described by an NVA POW captured in Hieu Duc District in May. He had stated that understrength NVA units were combining forces with local and main force VC units in order to have effective fighting units. Another possible explanation for NVA units combining forces with VC troops is that the VC are acting as guides. From one area to another the VC may be picking up NVA units, combining with them, and guiding them through their area until another VC unit takes over the task in an adjacent VC District. The eventual goal of these VC guided NVA units is either mountain "safe zones" or retraining, resupply areas in Laos.
   A further indication that NVA units are understaffed, underfed, with poor morale is that on the sixteenth and seventeenth two NVA soldiers Hoi Chanhs were picked up in Dai Loc District by CACO 2-2 units. Both men were members of the 31st NVA Regiment. This NVA unit has been reported by Hoi Chanhs in the past monthes to be in combination with a main force VC unit, to bring it up to fighting strength.
   In CACO 2-9's area the VC established a Hoi Chanh program of their own. In an English language broadcast heard in the vicinity of Mau Chanh (2)

and Thach Ban Hamlets at AT 896497 the VC offered to pay $100,000 US currency for a USMC rallier. Unfortunately for their Hoi Chanh program they off-set this interesting offer, with a statement that a villager could earn $50.00 US currency for each USMC KIA or US weapon captured. This broadcast was heard on the twenty-eighth and was not repeated.
