U.S. and South Vietnamese troops combine in a concerted "pacification" program of teaching, building, and helping in the village areas. It's a battle against the Vietcong for support among the peasants. A rural country road is lined with shacks and trees. American soldiers walk through a market. A soldier picks up a crying boy. Another washes a young boy's neck in a medical tent. A mother holds a screaming child. American soldiers jump from a bridge into water. Vietnamese woman scrub clothing on rocks. A group of young boys swim near the shore.
