village near the bivouac areas of the 1st Infantry Division and the 173rd Airborne Brigade Whether the flags along the main provincial road leading out of Bien Hoa were a warning nr another manifestation of a Viet Cong welcoming committee for new troops in the area Brig Gen Ellis Williamson of the 173rd took no chances He dispatched a fire team of seven armored personnel carriers each carrying a rifle squad and a 50-caliber machine gun to the scene When the troops arrived the flags and banners had vanished as mysteriously as they appeared All that remained was a typical Vietnamese pastoral scene of water buffaloes clogging th ewinding road and a primitive village drowsing in the sun at the edge of a giant rubber plantation This was one more poisode in a crazy kind of war where the enemy hits and runs and changes Identity and costume where a peasant by day can be a guerilla by night At the same instant that the fire team was heading out to search for Viet Cong raiders In the surrounding jungle other units of both the 1st Infangry and the 173rd bathed and swam in a sandy pool close to their bivouac area "This is our version of Miami Beach" said It I on Pross of Chicago a liaison officer with the "Big Red One" 1st Division Meanwhile overhead a C'raibou prop plane dropped rations and other supplies tn an area marked out by a smoking yellow flare Water trucks rolled into the lent city with fresh water from the mountains The artillery units cleaned and polished their 135s for the nightly bombardment of the nearby "Valley of the Rlack Pajamas" as they call it where the Viet Cong are suspected of holing up in a notch between two mountains For some units word of the Viet Cong flag in the nearby village brought an abrup halt tn the day's leisurely bathing "Everybody out of the pool" shouted a tall Negro master sergeant with intermittent blasts on a whistle It might have been any afternoon at scout camp on a torpid summer day except that the bathers after ihey toweled off immediately cradled automatic rifles and gren-age launchers The Viet Cong flags were discovered along the Phunc Ie road about 50 miles northeast of Saigon Both the 1st Division and the 173rd are encamped deep in iei Cong territory engaged in an operation designed to flush the guerrillas out of the jungles United States is doing here thus brings the same answer that It has brought since 1950 It is trying tn help Viet Nam win its war but now it is doing it In a different way with a big buildup There is gpneral agreement that it was necessary to adopt this different role but many believe it cannot provide a final solution Highest US officials sav repeatedly that this is a Vietnamese war and that must be won bv the Vietnamese themselves in There still would be no joint command
