#1 Goal: 'Peace with honour'
Vietnamisation would show that the US was willing to withdraw, but would also strengthen the ARVN
Withdrew 500,000 troops in 3 years!
ARVN:
Increased from 82,000 to 1 million (1968-1970)
Spring Offensive (1972): Only 8000 died! (40,000 NV died!)
Cambodia: Success (but, still had US aid)
Laos: Massive military failure! (without US, they were inefficient)
Still had low morale & depended on the US!
