Publication Date	1969
Page Count	182
Abstract	During this reporting period the 173rd Airborne Brigade continued Operation Washington Green in support of accelerated pacification in the northern four districts of Binh Dinh Province. These operations were designed to safeguard the village areas and gradually turn over full responsibility to the Vietnamese themselves. In addition, a concerted effort is being made to enhance the combat effectiveness of RF/PF and other district forces in the Brigade area of responsibility. In conjunction with Operation Washington Green, the Brigade assumed responsibility for lines of communication security within the Brigade area of responsibility. To accomplish its mission the Brigade undertook to conduct extensive combined operations with RF/PF and district forces located within the Brigade area of operations and implemented measures to provide for mutual support and coordinations among U.S. Forces, ARVN, RF/PF, and district forces. Tactical Operations Centers were collocated at the various district headquarters; liaison teams were established among forces; and constant coordination was affected at command levels. The Brigade, in conjunction with district MACV personnel, provided military training and assistance to RF/PF and district forces.
