a. Purpose of the test:

To te,-t and evaluate the 23rd Special Warfare Aviation De-tachment (SurvAilpnce) f23d SUAD) under field combat conditions to de-termino the adeqi:x% trr3 ru_!.bility of organization, equipment, miss-ions, doctrine, ta tdcs. pr,.¢-dures, and techniques for conductingcount er-insurgenc;r op:*lrtlons.

b. Test con, it:

(1) F-i' test3 nro boing conducted in the Republic ofVietnam (RV:) to s'r'-or1 -! rations as specified by CZUS ACV.During the test pe'r'o:i th-; Lect nit has supported the II ARIV (Armyof Vietnam) Corps.

(2) Delion.nt of the 23d IWAD through 14 February 1963 was:

(a) 0i. flight tuan (two aircraft and 16 personnel) atQui hon in direct support of th 9th Division.

(b) 23d S,'.D (-) at Nha Trang. Missions were:

1 Reinforcement of the flig-ht team at Qui Phon.

2 Surveillance of the coastal railway in II Zone.On 21 January, railamy surveillance was extended to include the railroadin Qv.ng Ngai Province.

I General support as directed by II ARVN Corps.

(3) On 15 February, a flight team (two aircraft and 18 per-sonncl) moved to Quang Ti-ni to provide direct support to the 25th Division.Tetm equipment includes ,n AN/TF<I-7 photographic ltboratory, giving thetcm a complete fiLm processing car.bility.

(4) Thus, on 15 February the 23d SWAD wnas disposed with theDetachment (-) (two aircrnft) at Nha Trr.ng, :.% flight team (tm aircraft)100 miles to the north at Qui Nhon, and a second flight team (two aircraft)at Quang Igai, 200 miles north of Nha Trang.

"To determine the results obtained by providing continuous sur-veillance to a limited area; i.e., reduction in VC incidents, restrictionsto VC movements, increase of RNAF (Republic of Vietnam Amid Forces)response 4nd effectiveness."

2. (C) Discussion.

a. Test activities relevant to this objective have been con-ducted in the same mannor and in the same two test exe-s vs describd inMonthly Test Report number 2: Binh Dinh Province (Area A) Fnd Trans -Vietnam Railway, II Zone (Area B).

b. The table below shows the number of incidents in Binh DinhProvince for a 12-month period. The priority effort of the 23 SWAD sur-veillance op-..atioes wa3 in this province during Rovember and Docember1962 and January 19 3.

Although the nu.iber of rjilway incidents in II Zone increased in January,it remained below thc average for the last seven months of 1962. A detailedanalysis is being made tu determine the correlation between times and areas ofsurveillance and tiacc, locations, severity and types of incidents. Resultsof the analysis will b. included in the final rrport.

3. Findings.

a. VC incidents in Binh Dinh Province have declined in the last twomonths, but the specific contribution of Mohawk survcillancc to the declineis not clear,

b. There wcro more railway incidents in II Zone in January (8) thanin December (3), but less than the 1962 s-ven-month average (12).
