US military strength in Vietnam as of the end of 1965:
Democratic Republic of Vietnam Commission for Investigation of the US Imperialists’ War Crimes in Vietnam “Chronology of the Vietnam War: Book One, 1941-1966,” (Paris: Association D’Amite Franco Vietnamienne, 1968), p.74: “By the end of 1965, the US expeditionary corps had increased to 185,000; 250,000 tons of bombs had been dropped on North Vietnam during the year.”
