Yet in that time, Westmoreland asserts that many of the enemy units have been pushed back to the frontiers, or prevented from crossing them. Large Communist forces are now in three bor der areas: in North Viet Nam along the DMZ; at the junction of Laos and Cambodia near Dak To; and along eastern Cambodia near Loc Ninh. With the extra U.S. troops expected early next year, the majority of them destined for combat instead of support duties. Westmoreland is convinced that...
