DIA ANALYSIS OF SIGNIFICANT TACTICAL COMINT
Reflecting the. difficulties which COSVN headquarters is
experiencing in controlling their operations in Cambodia, COMINT
indicates an 80 per cent reduction in traffic below normal COSVN
levels. This is undoubtedly an attempt,by COSVN to avoid
detection and protect itself from attack by Allied units. The
COSVN headquarters structure remains dispersed in various
locations both in the Parrot's Beak and Fishhook areas.
In a possibly related development, major elements of the
7th NVA Division which were reported yesterday in the Fishhook
area, appear to be planning diversionary or reaction operations.
A 3 May message between two 7th Division associates stated,
"(Our. commanders) are determined to mass our forces to systemati-
cal.ly'destroy the one enemy battalion." At the same time, these
operations are confronting them with: "We are striving to trans-
port the race and ammunition back to the rear area and hide them."
To the south, in the "Parrot's Beak," communications terminals
serving elements of Subregion (SR)-2, which appear to have had
responsibility for controlling enemy operations in the vicinity of
the Anrel's Wing, has been observed in an abnormally low level of
communications activity. In possibly related activity, an SR-2
district unit queried another district unit on the situation of
the suspected Subregion Headquarters. The 3 May message stated
in part, "Hair Hwng (code name for suspected Headquarters, SR-2)
has not come up because yesterday the enemy was northeast of
his location." The low level of communications activity can
probably be attributed to the intensive pressure being applied
by the Allied operations in the Parrot's Beak which has resulted
in approximately 1,300 enemy KIA to date.
In 4th Corps, there is no change; all major NVA elements in.
the Delta appear to be remaining in their normal areas of
operation..
