"One belief is that every person is inhabited by a spirit, or ko, which goes travelling while the human body is asleep. If a man should be awakened suddenly - so the belief is- the Ko might not have time to get back into its body and would get even by going around causing trouble. So the people believe a man should be allowed to sleep until he wakes up of his own accord." U.S. Army Pocket Guide to New Caledonia.

American and South Vietnamese units are beginning to work together more often — but some think the result is an even greater dependence on U.S. troops, with no gain in Vietnamese efficiency. The Vietnamese are unwilling to give up a fraction of their command. One U.S. adviser said recently: “All I do now is settle disputes between them (Vietnamese) and the Americans.” Shown here is a combined operation between Vietnamese Rangers and the U.S. 199th Light Infantry Brigade on the edge of the Mekong Delta
