Women were selected trom the villages ot HOA IiA tBT 035720), HO! LOI (AT970b53),HOA CHAU (gr Ol4b(7) and HOA THO tAT 998719) and sent to a secret zone fora 30 day training period on reconnaiSSailce methods and millt8l7' proselyting.

IHANH (V) (AT 960763) in order to carry out their espionage mission and lure Allied personnel"
, to areas where they can be kidnapped or ldlled by the VC. It was further repOrted that these females Will earn their, living as prostitutes and each will have a temporary .safe' conduct pass in their possession. (CI Coument:· This information was prev1.ouslyreported,

1. GENERAL Em1Y SITUATION. ;:
f a. QUANG TRI (P) -. DMZ'. Aerial photography"flown on 23 January over the
farnortheaatern portion of the ,00. and immediately north of. the ar.ea. revealed no significant increase. in enemy ground:activity when compared to missions covering the· same area flown on' 21 December. Enemy initiated ground activity consisting of. a series of short, probing ani. harassing actions, including mortar fire; was centered in the' northeastern portion. of" the province south of and just within the DMZ. Light to moder~te casualties also resulted in the deaths of two village chiefs;. Cn 26 JBIl1.1arythe GIC LINH CP' (YD 191139) received a light mortar"attack;mortar and .. artillery fire was, returned. .' - .
Southeast QUANG TRI (P) saw a drop in enemy: initiated. activity when. compared to the prior reporting Period. on· 21 and 22 January, at (YD 420.514) and (In 431530), contacts were reported with enemy-elements estimated in company strength. ARVN and PF' units' were involved, casualties were negligible <
and the enemy driven off. An incident of terrorism occurred on 22' Januaq-.' at (YD' 185590) when an unknown number of VC entered MOe Due (H) and assassinated the assis'tant to the local Catholic . priest.
Substantial ground reconnaissance north and. west of.THON SCNLAM reported total sightings of the. eneDlJ' nUIllbering approximately 100 ve/NVA.· The ene~ was observed in small groups numbering 10. to 20 men per group. Five sharp contacts were made along·the'reconnaissanceline with substantial' casualties inf'licted on the, enemy. On 26 January a reconnaissance- insert in. the vicinity of (XD 672529) gained contact with an estimated J5.to 40 VC northeast of KHE SANH. Fighting,' ensued and, during subsequent. reinforce-· J11ent of. the initial element, three CH-46Als~·..1ere .downed. All personnel. were·' successfully extracted early the next day.' ..
The enem;y'continues to maintain a .. screening. and reconnaissance effort: south of the JlIiZ. His actions in northern QUANG ,TRI (P) would appear to be4r this out. In addition, and with the advent ;of_ good weather in COln
binatJ:on with an increasing need for replacement to the south, the enemy can be expected'to-coptinue his attempts tOi.-iard s;tepping up his' infiltrati.on,.

of SIn¥! groups ofNVA. Recent interrogation reports point toward this as a possibility andFAC sightings reported a total of approximately 300 NVA on trails within the central portion of the ll-fZ. One group numbered approximatel3' 200. Elsewhere in QUANG TRI (p) enemy activity was limited to isolated and small scale harassing actions.
