logistical installation

By the time all South Vietnamese operations were seized, VPA communication lines and logistical installations were severely damaged.

The movement of the South Vietnamese forces was such a threat that the North Vietnamese was forced to defend their logistical installations with units from Long Khot.

Extensive logistical installations and large amounts of supplies were found and destroyed, but as reporting from the American command in Saigon disclosed, still larger amounts of material had already been moved deeper into the countryside.

In order to ensure key logistical installations throughout the state continued to be protected, the S.C. Legislature adopted Act No. 54, on March 21, 1941, establishing the S.C. Defense Force to serve in the absence of the Guard.
