      abstract = {The Defense Attaché Office (DAO) Saigon was organized and  was activated on 28 January 1973. DAO Saigon was a unique  organization. It performed the traditional functions of a  defense attaché, managed American military affairs in  Vietnam after the cease-fire, including the programs for  the support of the Republic of Vietnam's Armed Forces  (RVNAF), and furnished housekeeping support to Americans  remaining in Vietnam after the ceasefire. Aside from the  support of the RVNAF, it reported on operational matters  and produced intelligence information on which subsequent  decisions concerning the Military Assistance Program and  American interests in Southeast Asia could be based. The  DAO was evacuated from South Vietnam during the fall of  Saigon on April 29, 1975. This collection comprises the  DAO's Historian's Office files, including the official DAO  History and the background files used in its compilation.  The background files consist of serial reports, program  memoranda and correspondence, operational and planning  historical reports, intelligence summaries, briefing  papers, press releases, and documents on the ceasefire.},
