Tng tin cng v ni dy Tt Mu Thn was one of the largest military campaigns of the Vietnam War, launched on January 3. Viet Cong and North Vietnamese Peoples Army of Vietnam against the forces of the South Vietnamese Army of the Republic of Vietnam, the United States Armed Forces, and their allies. It was a campaign of surprise attacks against military and civilian command and control centers throughout South Vietnam. The name of the offensive comes from the Tt holiday, the Vietnamese New Year, when the first major attacks took place. The North Vietnamese launched a wave of attacks in the late night hours of 3. January in the I and II Corps Tactical Zones of South Vietnam. This early attack did not lead to widespread defensive measures. When the main North Vietnamese operation began the next morning, the offensive was countrywide and well coordinated eventually more than 8. North Vietnamese troops struck more than 1. The offensive was the largest military operation conducted by either side up to that point in the war. Though initial attacks stunned both the US and South Vietnamese armies, causing them to temporarily lose control of several cities, they quickly regrouped, beat back the attacks, and inflicted heavy casualties on North Vietnamese forces. During the Battle of Hu, intense fighting lasted for a month, resulting in the destruction of the city. During their occupation, the North Vietnamese executed thousands of people in the Massacre at Hu. Around the US combat base at Khe Sanh, fighting continued for two more months. Although the offensive was a military defeat for North Vietnam, it had a profound effect on the US government and shocked the US public, which had been led to believe by its political and military leaders that the North Vietnamese were being defeated and incapable of launching such an ambitious military operation American public support for the war soon declined and the U. S. sought negotiations to end the war. The term Tet offensive usually refers to the JanuaryFebruary 1. Mini Tet offensives that took place in May and August. BackgroundeditUnited StateseditDuring the fall of 1. U. S. strategy of attrition was working in South Vietnam weighed heavily on the minds of the American public and the administration of President Lyndon B. Johnson. General William C. Westmoreland, the commander of the Military Assistance Command, Vietnam MACV believed that if a crossover point could be reached by which the number of communist troops killed or captured during military operations exceeded those recruited or replaced, the Americans would win the war. There was a discrepancy, however, between MACV and the Central Intelligence Agencys CIA order of battle estimates concerning the strength of Viet Cong guerrilla forces within South Vietnam. In September, members of the MACV intelligence services and the CIA met to prepare a Special National Intelligence Estimate that would be used by the administration to gauge U. S. success in the conflict. Provided with an enemy intelligence windfall accrued during Operations Cedar Falls and Junction City, the CIA members of the group believed that the number of Viet Cong guerrillas, irregulars, and cadre within the South could be as high as 4. The MACV Combined Intelligence Center, on the other hand, maintained that the number could be no more than 3. Westmoreland was deeply concerned about the possible perceptions of the American public to such an increased estimate, since communist troop strength was routinely provided to reporters during press briefings. According to MACVs chief of intelligence, General Joseph A. Mc. Christian, the new figures would create a political bombshell, since they were positive proof that the North Vietnamese had the capability and the will to continue a protracted war of attrition. In May, MACV attempted to obtain a compromise from the CIA by maintaining that Viet Cong militias did not constitute a fighting force but were essentially low level fifth columnists used for information collection. The agency responded that such a notion was ridiculous, since the militias were directly responsible for half of the casualties inflicted on U. S. forces. With the groups deadlocked, George Carver, CIA deputy director for Vietnamese affairs, was asked to mediate the dispute. In September, Carver devised a compromise The CIA would drop its insistence on including the irregulars in the final tally of forces and add a prose addendum to the estimate that would explain the agencys position. George Allen, Carvers deputy, laid responsibility for the agencys capitulation at the feet of Richard Helms, the director of the CIA. He believed that it was a political problem . Helms didnt want the agency . During the second half of 1. Vietnam policies. According to public opinion polls, the percentage of Americans who believed that the U. S. had made a mistake by sending troops to Vietnam had risen from 2. December 1. 96. 7. This trend was fueled not by a belief that the struggle was not worthwhile, but by mounting casualty figures, rising taxes, and the feeling that there was no end to the war in sight. A poll taken in November indicated that 5. Vietnam in the first place. But now that were there, lets win or get out. This prompted the administration to launch a so called Success Offensive, a concerted effort to alter the widespread public perception that the war had reached a stalemate and to convince the American people that the administrations policies were succeeding. Under the leadership of National Security Advisor Walt W. Rostow, the news media then was inundated by a wave of effusive optimism. Every statistical indicator of progress, from kill ratios and body counts to village pacification, was fed to the press and to the Congress. We are beginning to win this struggle asserted Vice President Hubert H. Pinnacle Studio 12 Full Crack Pc more. Humphrey on NBCs Today show in mid November. We are on the offensive. Territory is being gained. We are making steady progress. At the end of November, the campaign reached its climax when Johnson summoned Westmoreland and the new U. S. Ambassador, Ellsworth Bunker, to Washington, D. C., for what was billed as a high level policy review. Upon their arrival, the two men bolstered the administrations claims of success.
