What follows are excerpts from a memorandum now being

“ 0n 10 May, (1965) an estimated two main-force Viet Cong
regiments attacked . . . (Song Be, the provincial capital of
p buoc Long Province),
“The Viet Cong suffered prohibitive casualties at the hands
of a determined band of Vietnamese and American defenders,
The kill-ratio was definitely in favor of the Allied forces.
“The Viet Cong to completely overrun the capital,
Howe ver, events during the aftermath of the battle indicated
that the outcome of the action was doubtful.
“Governmental officials began a mass exodus front Song
Be, using all manner of pretexts to return to Saigon. Private
citizens became wandering refugees. Effective government

“Had the Viet Cong desired the critical terrain of these two

disablement of government control and loss of its support by
the population.
“The Viet Cong proved that the government was incapable
of providing protection and security for tbe population in
return for their support.
“The concept of a tactical success or victory must be re
assessed. It is not longer possible to credit victory to the
side which maintains control pf critical terrain and • mm
suffers the fewer casualties.
“Unlike the conflicts in which the American armed forces
have participated in the past, the objective is not control of
a land mass.
“The primary objective in revolutionary warfare Is to gain
at least the tacit support of the rural population and establish
some measure of control over them.
“The secondary objective is to destroy the insurgent
