Description:
In 1970, Military Assistance Command Vietnam (MACV) published the Combined Strategic Objectives Plan (CSOP). This document was a collaborative effort that involved both the US Army planners and members of Republic of Vietnam's (RVN) Joint General Staff. The CSOP was an expansive document intended to detail the new operational approach General Creighton Abrams championed during his command of MACV. This operational approach departed from the previous search and destroy methodology and sought fully to implement President Nixon's policy of Vietnamization. Abrams' strategy was twofold and involved attacks against communist support networks while simultaneously putting much greater emphasis on the development of the South Vietnamese government and armed forces. For the CSOP and General Abrams' new operational approach to work, however, two key assumptions would have to prove correct, the continued support of the American people and that the communists were unable or unwilling to mount a conventional invasion. The CSOP provides an excellent case for analysis due to its thoroughness and breadth. It was not merely meant to cover the military aspects of the war effort, but to capture the effort at creating stable governance as well. However, due to its complexity it was also difficult to operationalize at the Field Force level, resulting in very little short-term change to US Army operations.
