Enemy activity in the Dak
To area was again confined to
mortar fire against allied posi-
tions on 16 November.
Enemy shells caused little
damage yesterday; however, on
the 15th four separate barrages
totaling some 90 rounds inflicted
US losses of 20 killed and 22
wounded. In addition, the shell-
ing on the 15th destroyed several
million dollars of US materiel.
It is possible that Communist
units around Dak To may have
withdrawn temporarily to group
and resupply.
This slackening in the pace
of the enemy attack will prob-
ably be short lived. The scene
of the action may shift soon to
an area north of Dak To where

GENERAL
South Vietnamese units have en-
countered heavy fire during the
past three days.
On 15 November elements of
the US 25th Division in Tay Ninh
and Hau Nghia provinces suffered
32 killed in enemy mortar barrages.
There continues to be a lull
in the fighting around the Loc
Ninh area. In adjacent Phuoc
Long Province, indications are
that the North Vietnamese 88th
Regiment has moved into positions
around the town of Song Be. It
may be getting ready to assault
an allied position near Song Be
or along Route 14 in hopes of
luring an allied reaction force
into an ambush.
