Since the activation of these three possible Hq, the radio groups, the possible Hq, 7th Division; the tentative Hq, 7th Division Forward Element; and the tentative Hq, 101st; and the Unidentified Front; the Unidentified Front; the possible Hq, 7th Division Forward Element; and the tentative Hq, 101st Regiments have been noted in very limited communications activity.

Phuoc Long Province Area represents the radio group communications between an unidentified control authority located at 11-55N 107-08E (YU 330171) on 31 December and two unidentified control entities--one located at 11-21N 107-08E (YU 106-31E (XT 650545) on 16 January and the other at 11-42N 107-99E (YT 350950) on 10 January (XT 650545) and the possible Hq, VC 275th Regiment may represent communications between the Hq, 10th Vietnamese Communist units.

The observed locations in Phuoc Long and its two subordinate regiments--the possible Hq, VC 275th Regiment and the possible Hq, VC 5th LID element may represent communications between the Hq, 10th Vietnamese Communist units. These previously identified communications have been noted at times in limited communication activity.

Summary since early October 1967 suggests that the Vietnamese Communists are reorganizing and possibly augmenting their military apparatus in at least 10 areas of South Vietnam. Since late November 1967, the unidentified area six elements of Hq, 10th MR have moved into the MR 10 area. One of these elements moved within MR 10 PAVN B3 Front from Phuoc Long to Binh Long Province during late December and was located in western Binh Long Province near the Cambodian border at 11-45N 106-26E (XT 561996) on 1 January.

Preliminary information indicates that three additional radio groups have been activated, two of these groups are located in the Binh Long Province area since 3 January. The control authorities of the third group are unlocated, as the same area is included in the B3 Front element in western Binh Long. An et diagram in the hard copy only depicting the communication structure of these groups is included.

INDICATIONS OF SPECIAL DRV AIR OPERATIONS POSSIBLY INDICATED

Unusual MIG-21 activity in pe soupern NVN since 8 January, along wip certain oper SIGINT anomalies noted in DRV air defense communications, give rise to pe possibility of pe DRV again planning special operations, possibly in pe DMZ area, such as recently reflected in pe shoopown of pe RB-66 and pe bombing of pe RLA position in Laos.

Most significant among the present SIGINT anomalies has been a series of unusual MIG-21 flights south of 20-00N, the first of which occurred on 8 January. Similar flights were subsequently noted on 19 and 24 January. Two additional flights of MIG aircraft in southern areas of the DRV occurred on 30 December and 9 January; however, the nature of these flights and the type of activity involved are clearly different from those of 8, 19, and 24 January.

In the case of the latter three flights, each consisting of two MIG-21's, the major intent appeared to be that of navigational and geographic familiarization. Despite the fact that the flight of the 24th resulted in an encounter with F4B aircraft, this activity, like that of the two previous dates, reflected an intent on the part of the MIG pilots to avoid confrontation with hostile aircraft. The pilots, while showing concern with the locations of hostiles, at no time attempted to initiate offensive action. Even in the encounter of the 24th, presently available SIGINT strongly indicates that the two MIG pilots were attempting to land at Vinh when they were surprised by F4 aircraft and were subsequently told to return to Phuc Yen.

Of probable additional significance with respect to these flights of MIG-21's is the fact that, on all three occasions, the same two pilots have been involved. These pilots have not been reflected in normal MIG reaction to U.S. strike forces during 1960.

and , and,priorto their firstsouthern flighton 8 January, prior to their first southern flight on 8 January, were noted were noted only once only once in practice GCI On 6 January in western North in western North Vietnam.Vietnam. While positive identity continuity of these pilots prior to January 1960 cannot be established, analysis of communications characteristics suggests that they may be two of the most proficient pilots in the DRV Air Force. Also involved in these flights of MIG-21's has been the appearance of two new and un-located ground control facilities, as well as a third controller which had previously been observed in transport and AN-2 practice bombing activity. This facility was also reflected in the recovery and landing of AN-2's following the 12 January attack in Laos. This controller was originally identified as located in the Hanoi-Haiphong area, and has more recently been reported as tentatively located in the Vinh and/or Hung Yen areas. Re-analysis of the activities involving this station, however, has failed to clarify this point. Each occurrence has involved ambiguous indications and each has tended to contradict the last. Although not confirmed in SIGINT, the possibility exists that this control facility is not at a fixed location, but, rather, represents unusual communications usage for special air operations activities.

In all three cases of MIG-21 familiarization flights, pilots and ground controllers have reflected some pre-occupation with the operation of radiocompass equipment. All flights have recovered at Phuc Yen, although as stated above, the flight of 24 January exhibited an intent to land at Vinh. Also of interest as regards the anomalies in the present DRV air post is the fact that, since 20 January, a North Vietnamese air operations facility probably located at Hanoi has been reflected passing messages pertinent to B-52 strike operations in the DMZ to a subordinate probably located at Vinh. A total of eight messages have been reflected through 24 January.

Communications developments located early January Binh Long Province since early January suggest that the possible Unidentified Front located in northern Binh Communist Military Region (MR) 10, is assuming a more prominent role in the Vietnamese Communist Military Region (MR) 10, in South Vietnam. Headquarters at least since the 1st of January, has been attempting to establish contact with Headquarters MR 2 and MR 3; radio activity on the radio link at MR Hq, and MR 3; on one of the links MR 5; MR 6. Further, on 10 January, the possible Unidentified Front Headquarters has attempted to establish contact with MR Tri-Hq, and MR 6.2 by the Unidentified Front Headquarters in northern Binh Long Province near the Cambodian border was last located on 15 January at 106-31E.

Prior to early January, the possible Unidentified Front Headquarters maintained communications with HC; the possible Front Headquarters ll-59N in the process of being established. Further, the possible Unidentified Front Headquarters has sent messages to Hq, MR Tri-Hq, and Thien-Hue with routing instructions indicating that they originated from the Unidentified Front Headquarters.

In the meantime, it appears that since early January the possible Military Intelligence Bureau of COSVN (MIB COSVN) authority located in northern Binh Long Province near the Cambodian border has been transferred to the possible Front Headquarters with the MIS's authority. This authority may represent the MS of the front and may be communicating with the Central Research Directorate in Hanoi.

Through December 1967, an element near 11-58N communicated only with lower-level elements identified as MI 5 km from the central authority located near 106-28E.

An additional shift of Viet Cong (VC) military intelligence (MI) control authority has apparently occurred in conjunction with the recent shift of certain major MI elements from the Military Intelligence Section (MIS) of the unidentified possible front in northern Binh Long Province.

Specifically, between 17 December 1967 and 12 January, control previously subordinate to the possible Military Intelligence Bureau (MIB) of COSVN was apparently transferred to at least six of the seven MIS elements of the front located in the Binh Long-Binh Duong Province region. The new control authority was located just east of the border area (XT 614548) and ceased on 16 January near Michelin Plantation.

On 17 December, communication with subordinates, previously used by the same possible signal plan of the seven subordinates of the possible MIS of the front, ceased. All subordinates of the possible control authority, located in the Binh Long-Binh Duong Province area, began to communicate with the front utilizing the same signal plan.

With the emergence of this control authority, there are now at least four major VC MI authorities in the Tay Ninh-Binh Long Province area. The other three are COSVN located on 21 January in the possible MIS of 106-14E (XT 345812) in northern Province Front; Tay COSVN, located on 19 January near 106-29E (XT 446793); and Detached Element One, located on 19 January near 106-20E (XT 446793), and controlling approximately 15, 21, and 9 subordinates respectively.

{
    "Who": "Vietnamese Communist Authorities, Unidentified Front, Military Intelligence Bureau (MIB COSVN), Central Research Directorate in Hanoi, Viet Cong (VC) military intelligence",
