MEMORANDUM FOR THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE
SUBJECT: Urgent Requirements for Republic of Korea Forces
in Korea (U)
1. (U) Attached hereto is a list of materiel for Republic
of Korea (ROK) Forces. The list was derived from COMUSKOREA's
Counter-Infiltration/Guerril1a and Force Improvement Requirements
(short title: CIGFIR), which was forwarded to the Joint Chiefs of
Staff.
2. (S) The ROK, with its growing economy and industrial
base, is an anchor point of U.S. forward strategy in Northeast
Asia. The ROK is a cooperative ally, contributes major forces
to assist in the defense of South Vietnam, and with U.S. assist-
ance provides for her own defense. Basic objectives of our
military strategy in Korea are to deter or defeat direct or
indirect aggression, to strengthen the ROK, and to influence the
leaders of North Korea to abandon their policy of aggression
against the South. Implementation of this strategy has included
provision of visible and effective support for the ROK by main-
taining U.S. combat forces in Korea, improving the infrastructure
necessary for the introduction of reinforcements, and providing
a level of military assistance which would enable the ROK to
defend against North Korean acts of aggression, with U.S. naval,
air, and logistic support, if necessary.
3. (S) It is evident that North Korea is committed to a
strategy of developing a "revolutionary struggle" in the South,
and that the campaign will continue to include harassment of
