===Scale and Effectiveness=== The Phoenix Program, driven by PRU operations, “neutralized” 81,740 VCI members from 1968 to 1972, with PRUs playing a key role in captures and killings. The CIA claimed this disrupted VC control over rural areas, forcing their infrastructure underground by 1972, a view echoed by some Vietnamese communist accounts. The CIA imposed neutralization quotas (e.g., a certain number of VCI per province monthly), which pressured PRUs to produce results. This led to inflated body counts and the targeting of non-VCI civilians to meet quotas, undermining the program’s precision.
