This is one of the Department of the Army's Ethnographic Study Series: , Department of the Army Pamphlet No. 550-105 (Ethnographic Study Series: Minority Groups in the Republic of Vietnam) is a 1,163-page manual designed to brief U.S. personnel on the social, cultural, and political landscapes of South Vietnam's diverse ethnic groups. Produced by the Cultural Information Analysis Center (CINFAC) at American University, the document maps local structures to aid in counterinsurgency, civil-military cooperation, and psychological operations. It offers detailed profiles of various groups, including the Montagnards, Khmer, Cham, and Chinese, alongside religious factions like the Cao Dai and Hoa Hao. The pamphlet is a key example of Cold War-era human terrain analysis applied to military operations. This foundational reference work provides a significant baseline of information available to the U.S. Military on the various minority groups in Vietnam during the period of a significant military buildup of U.S. armed forces in Southeast Asia, and in the Republic of Vietnam in particular. This volume was prepared by the Cultural Information Analysis Center (CINFAC), Center for Research in Social Systems (CRESS) of the American University. It is designed to be useful to military and other personnel who need a convenient compilation of basic facts about the social, economic, and political institutions and practices of minority groups in the Republic of Vietnam. This study seeks to present as full and as balanced an integrated exposition on selected tribal and other minority groups, as limitations on space and research time permitted. It was compiled from information available in openly published material. Extensive bibliographies are provided to permit recourse to other published sources for more detailed information. The contents of the study represent the work of the authors and CINFAC. An effort has been made to make this study as comprehensive as possible. The task of studying these groups is a complicated one. The country is undergoing crises of various types, in the course of which the groups are more and more coming into contact with modern civilization. It is always difficult to gauge the true depth and nature of social and cultural changes : it does appear, however, that the groups selected for study are deeply involved in these changes. The studies contained in this volume are designed to provide basic background material on the fundamental social, economic, and political characteristics of the various groups. They are descriptive reports based on secondary sources dealing with the Vietnamese society. Field research was not undertaken, although the comments of consultants and personnel recently returned from the area have been incorporated. It must be recognized, then, that these studies are not exhaustive. There are appreciable gaps in the information, and many discrepancies in the original sources were difficult to reconcile. Further, the information contained in these studies may be outdated even before it is published and is subject to modification in the light of new developments and information. Therefore, although they contain the latest information available, and the validity of this material has been checked as closely as possible, the user is cautioned to consider these studies as a point of departure to be checked against the current circumstances or conditions of the particular area in which he is working. Extensive bibliographies are included to assist one seeking more detailed information in areas of special interest. This volume is divided into two parts : the first containing a chapter for each of 18 Montagnard tribal groups, and the second consisting of 7 cha.…
