NINE
RULES
FOR
AUSTRALIAN ARMY
FORCES IN VIETNAM
We as a
military force and as individuals, are in this
country to help the Vietnamese Government and
People to win their long and courageous fight
against the Communists. The product of
victory is a democratic State with stable
government and contented people. The
Communists will use any weapon to discredit the
Government and countries, like ours, in the eyes
of the Vietnamese people. Don't let your
behaviour be a propaganda weapon which helps in
any way to destroy Vietnam. Here are nine
simple rules for conduct whilst in Vietnam.
