"Casualties Go Down, 'Vietnamization' is Up" by George McArthur, Pacific Stars & Stripes, October 20, 1969
The article explains that U.S. combat deaths in Vietnam were decreasing in 1969 as the U.S. shifted responsibility for fighting to the South Vietnamese military, a process called “Vietnamization”. President Nixon and military leaders wanted American troops to focus more on protective actions while South Vietnamese forces took on a bigger role.
