ORDEROFTHE COMMAND OFTHE
SOUTH VIETNAM PEOPLE'S LIBERATION ARMED FORCES
In keeping with the Vietnamese people's long-standing tradition of humanitarianism, the South Vietnam
National Front for Liberation and the Provisional Revolutionary Government of the Republic of South Vietnam
have stated on repeated occasions that its policy is to welcome the anti-war US servicemen and to give a
humane treatment to the US servicemen captured or wounded on the battlefield.
In the present situation and pursuant to this policy, the Command of the South Vietnam People's Liberation
Armed Forces orders:
1. Not to attack those anti-war US servicemen—individuals or groups— who demand repatriation, oppose
orders of the US commanders, and abstain from hostile actions against the People's Liberation Armed Forces,
from supporting or coming to the rescue of the Saigon Army, encroaching on the freedom, property and lives
of the South Vietnamese people, interfering In their internal affairs, hindering their struggles against the
Thieu-Ky-Khlem clique.
2. To give a proper treatment to those US servicemen—individuals or groups—who in action refrain from
opposing the People's Liberation Armed Forces, and those who carry with them anti-war literature.
3. To stand ready to extend aid and protection to those anti-war US servicemen who have to run away for
their opposition to orders of operations, to harsh discipline and to the discriminatory policy in the army.
4. To welcome and give good treatment to those US servicemen who cross over to the South Vietnam
people and the People's Liberation Armed Forces; to stand ready to help them go home or seek asylum in
another country if requested by them.
5. To welcome and to grant appropriate rewards to those US servicemen—individuals or groups—who
support the National Front for Liberation and the Provisional Revolutionary Government of the Republic of
South Vietnam.
The Command of the South Vietnam People's Liberation Armed Forces calls on the officers and men in
all services of the US army in South Vietnam to make their best efforts to demand their repatriation, to
refuse to go submissiviely to a useless death in the unjust war in Vietnam and Indochina, to try by every
means to enter into contact with and to inform the South Vietnam people and the People's Liberation Armed
Forces of their anti-war actions in order to receive assistance.
The People's Liberation Armed Forces must seriously carry out this order while constantly enhancing
their vigilance and meting out exemplary punishment to those who continue stubbornly to follow the US
imperialists in opposing the Vietnamese people.
South Vietnam, April 26,1971
