SAIGON.
High Vietnamese officers
fear an American political
t ake-over in the strategic
plateau , bordering Laos following the recent arrival of
the 15,000 1st Air Cavalry
Division.
As the Americans ·dramatically expanded their military
power in the strategic high'land area, the military contest
!mmediately was set between
the division, supported _by
Vietnamese government forces,
and the Communist Viet Cong
who use the jungled highlands
as militar:v bases and infiltrat10n routes from North: Viet
Nam.
However, a t hird paramilitary force exists-the indigenous Montagnards, who
have ibeen trained , equipped
and fiinanced by the American Special Forces.
A year ago some of these
Montagnard tribesmen mutinied in five military camps
against their Vietnamese superiors, massacred 31 Vietnamese and established a dissident political movement
called- the Unified Front for
th,e Liberation of the Oppressed Race .
Vietnamese officials threatened to bomb their own tribal
t roops, and the dissident
movement was temporarily ·
quiet until last month, when
two Vietnamese Marine Bat talions encircled 300 of the
armed Montagnard dissidents
a nd forced their surrender.
Two of the dissident units,
h owever, evaded encirclement
and is forcing the· Montagnards into the hands of the
Communists.
The Montagnards have been
a sore point between the Vietnamese governme.nt and American officials since the Americans first proposed training
and equipping them in 1962 .
President Ngo Dinh Diem
refused to allow the arming
of the Montagnards, even to
fi ght the Communists coming
across the Ho Chi Minh infiltration routes, fearing that
one day the Montagnards ,
would rebel against his central ]
government. Eventually he reluctantly allowed t he American Special F orces to train
them, but kept personal watch
on the program and his Vietnamese Special Forces commanders, working with the
Americans, reported directly
to him. Less than a year after
President Diem's fall and
murder in November, 1963,
the Montagn:ard rebel movement he feared was already
r evolting against the new Saigon government.
POLITICS
Reliable observers indicate
that the introduction of the
elite, mobile American division
into the highlands is n ot
enough. Without adequate political controls, the American
combat division mlgpt defeat
t he Viet Cong hard-core battalions and r egiments and
t hen }ose the tribal populat ion to t he Communists because of dissatisfaction with
t he Vietnamese government.
In a move to increase its
control in the highlands, the

SAIGON.
High Vietnamese officers
fear an American political
t ake-over in the strategic
plateau , bordering Laos following the recent arrival of
the 15,000 1st Air Cavalry
Division.
As the Americans ·dramatically expanded their military
power in the strategic high'land area, the military contest
!mmediately was set between
the division, supported _by
Vietnamese government forces,
and the Communist Viet Cong
who use the jungled highlands
as militar:v bases and infiltrat10n routes from North: Viet
Nam.
However, a t hird paramilitary force exists-the indigenous Montagnards, who
have ibeen trained , equipped
and fiinanced by the American Special Forces.
A year ago some of these
Montagnard tribesmen mutinied in five military camps
against their Vietnamese superiors, massacred 31 Vietnamese and established a dissident political movement
called- the Unified Front for
th,e Liberation of the Oppressed Race .
Vietnamese officials threatened to bomb their own tribal
t roops, and the dissident
movement was temporarily ·
quiet until last month, when
two Vietnamese Marine Bat talions encircled 300 of the
armed Montagnard dissidents
a nd forced their surrender.
Two of the dissident units,
h owever, evaded encirclement
and is forcing the· Montagnards into the hands of the
Communists.
The Montagnards have been
a sore point between the Vietnamese governme.nt and American officials since the Americans first proposed training
and equipping them in 1962 .
President Ngo Dinh Diem
refused to allow the arming
of the Montagnards, even to
fi ght the Communists coming
across the Ho Chi Minh infiltration routes, fearing that
one day the Montagnards ,
would rebel against his central ]
government. Eventually he reluctantly allowed t he American Special F orces to train
them, but kept personal watch
on the program and his Vietnamese Special Forces commanders, working with the
Americans, reported directly
to him. Less than a year after
President Diem's fall and
murder in November, 1963,
the Montagn:ard rebel movement he feared was already
r evolting against the new Saigon government.
POLITICS
Reliable observers indicate
that the introduction of the
elite, mobile American division
into the highlands is n ot
enough. Without adequate political controls, the American
combat division mlgpt defeat
t he Viet Cong hard-core battalions and r egiments and
t hen }ose the tribal populat ion to t he Communists because of dissatisfaction with
t he Vietnamese government.

control in the highlands, the
