VIETNAM CONG HOA (South Vietnam) on 26 October 1962 issued a First Day Cover set of stamps and cachet to commemorate the "Strategic Hamlets" programme (known in Vietnamese as Ấp Chiến Lược), a counter-insurgency plan during the Vietnam War. Two of four stamps in the set included one green (1₫) and one orange (0₫50), depicting soldiers guarding a fortified settlement. Postmark cancellation originated from Saigon, South Vietnam.
