Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the quarter closed, the Division continued to defeat the enemy at his every move to further pacification of the Vietnamese people in its area of operations, and to strengthen the capabilities of ARVN/PF/RF forces. Beginning in early April and continuing throughout this reporting period, the Division has developed a program to computerize the large volume of operational and intelligence data which results from operations within the Division area. This program is aimed at reducing the amount of time and effort required to analyze and interpret this information and to exploit its full potential to improve the combat efficiency of the Division. The development of Night Hawk operations continued during this period with increasingly effective results. Extensive land clearing operations continued in the Division area to deny concealed areas and routes to the enemy. The total range of sensory, detection and intelligence collecting capability available to the Division (i.e. Night Hawks, radar, Duffelbag, night vision devices, SLAR, Red Haze, LRRP's, night combat patrols, agent reports, document readouts, VR, airborne personnel detectors etc.) is evolving into a system of battlefield surveillance and control.
