PETROLEUM:

CONTRIBUTES SIGNIFICANTLY TO ECONOMIC AND MILITARY

OPERATIONS

A SOURCE OF ENERGY TO DRIVE PORTABLE POWER PLANTS.

ENERG.Y CATEGORY ANALYSIS

TI-fERMAL ELECTRIC POWER (FIXED/PORTABLE)

CONTRIBUlES SIGNIFICANTLY. TO ECONOMIC AND MILITARY OPERATIONS

FIXED POWER PLANTS, (COAL FIRED) PRODUCE 89o/o OF THE NVN NATIONAL
CAPACITY
DESTRUCTION OF FIXED POWER PLANTS WOULD NEGATE THE IMPORTANCE
OF COAL AS A TARGET SYSTEM WITHIN THE ENERGY CATEGORY.
FIXED POWER PLANTS CAN BE EFFICIENTLY AND EFFECTIVELY ATTACKED
WITH AIR POWER.
PORTABLE POWER PLANTS ARE TOO NUMEROUS AND WIDELY DISPERSED
TO LOCATE AND DESTROY WITH AIR POWER AND MUST BE NEUTRALIZED
THROUGH DENIAL OF POL

THE ENTIRE FIXED POWER SYSltM MUST BE AITACKED.

...... USE OF THE BACK-uP SYSltM, PORTABLE POWER, MUST BE DENIED
TO rnE ENEMY.

2.4o/o OF THE TOTAL NATIONAL ELECTRIC ENERGY CAPACITY.

ENERGY CATEGORY ANALYSIS

COAL:

IS DOMESTICALLY PRODUCED IN SUFFICIENT QUANTITIES

TO SATISFY NVN REQUIREMENTS AS A SOURCE OF ENERGY
TO DRIVE THERMAL POWER PLANTS AND TO- PROVIDE AN
EXPORT COMMODITY.

SOURCES, (MINES) ARE TOO NUMEROUS AND DISPERSED

TO CONSTITUTE A SYSTEM FOR ATTACK BY AIR POWER

USE FACILITIES, FOR EXAMPLE, FIXED THERMAL POWER
PLANTS, ARE DESTROYED.

ENERGY CATEGORY ANALYSIS SUMMARY

MAXIMUM IMPACT CAN ONLY BE ACHIEVED IF BOTH
THE FOLLOWING ACTIONS ARE TAKEN:
a. DESTRUCTION OF FIXED POWER PLANTS.
b. ELIMINATION OF POL IMPORTS.

OBJECTIVES
TO RAISE AND SUSTAIN THE MORALE OF THE
SOUTI-1 VIETNAMESE PEOPLE

TO MAKE THE NORTI-1 VIETNAMESE PAY A PRICE

FOR CONTINUING THEIR AGGRESSION AGAINST
SOUTH VIETNAM

TO REDUCE AND MAKE MORE COSllY .THE

INFILTRATION OF MEN AND SUPPLIES FROM
NVN TO SVN

' . SLIDE 29
 CONCLUSIONS
1. THE ENEMY HAS DEMONSTRATED THE ABILITY TO ACCOMMODATE
TO THE GRADUAL I-NCREASE OF PRESSURES AND RESULTANT
PREDICTABLE PATTERNS WHICH FOLLOW THE PRESENT MErnOD OF
TARGET AUTHORIZATION
2. IMPORT OF MATERIALS INTO NVN TO SUPPORT MILITARY
REQUIREMENTS IN BOTH NVN AND SVN CONTINUES TO INCREASE
3. DENIAL OF IMPORTS TO NVN, AS RECOMMENDED BY THE JCS
AND INDIVIDUAL SERVICES AS A REQUIREMENT FOR SUCCESSFUL
CON-CLUSION OF TI-lE NVN CONFLICT, IS VALIDATED BY ECONO-
METRIC TARGETING
4. TO SIGNIFICANTLY ADVANCE U.S. NATIONAL OBJECTIVES, NVN
TARGET SYSTEMS MUST BE BROUGHT UNDER ATTACK IN AN
INTEGRATED AND SYSTEMIC AIR CAMPAIGN
5. AN INTEGRATED STRIKE AND INTERDICTION PtAN IS REQUIRED
