OCS Military History Lesson 7 Part 1
Questions And Answers With Verified
Solutions 100% Correct!!!
Tet Offensive - ANSWER✔✔ - Vietnam War: 1968
- The communists' "General Offensive, General Uprising" plan: simultaneous Viet
Cong guerilla and NVA regular attacks will hopefully spark a people's
revolutionary uprising in SVN
After initial shock and some tactical success, "General Offensive, General
Uprising" fails
- SVN and U.S. ground forces retake positions in hard fighting
- Communist 30,000-40,000 KIA
- VC decimated - There is no uprising
- U.S. domestic support crippled
- Causes: emphasizes increased impact of mass media, especially TV, and its
interaction with war


General Creighton Abrams - ANSWER✔✔ - Vietnam War
- He was the MACV (Military Assistance Commander in Vietnam) Commander
- Emphasized COIN/pacification. This brought about really good results
- Some historians believe he won the COIN War in Vietnam by 1970; Others argue
his efforts were too little, too late
- Many believe that it was a waste and exhausted the U.S. forces.


Hamburger Hill / Cambodia Incursion - ANSWER✔✔ - Vietnam War: 1969
- This was a short raid and relatively limited aims

, - Interdict but not seize Ho Chi Minh Trail and supply bases in Cambodia and assist
Vietnamization
- Mixed results: supplies and bases destroyed, but not as much damage as
desired; disrupts but by no means ends communist activity in Cambodia
- Political firestorm: political/media criticism for Nixon's apparent escalation of
the war when he had pledged a US pullout; campus riots (Kent State Shootings),
etc.
- Congress forbids U.S. ground ops in Cambodia & Laos


Linebacker Air Campaigns - ANSWER✔✔ - Vietnam War: 1972
- Critical air support outside Saigon & in the Highlands
- Linebacker I: air campaign against NV
- Fewer restrictions than Rolling Thunder, and more effective too
- American air power allows SVN to regroup and stop NVA offensive
- NVA offensive stalls; peace-talk success, Oct. 72; end of Linebacker I
- Peace talks stall, and Pres. Nixon orders the Linebacker II "Christmas Bombing,"
in Dec. 1972
- Uses heavy bombers instead of only the smaller fighter-bombers used in R.
Thunder and LB I
- Inspires even more anti-war criticism and controversy than Rolling Thunder
- Bombing forces NVN back to the truce table


Incidents: My Lai - ANSWER✔✔ - Vietnam
- My Lai: (War Crimes) Operating under extremely dangerous conditions day after
day induced a climate of fear and hatred among the Americans towards the Viet
Cong
- Already thin line between civilian and combatant was easily blurred and violated
