The Viet Cong Motivation and Morale Project was a series of studies done by the American research institute RAND from late 1964 through the end of 1968.[1] The project interviewed Viet Cong prisoners and defectors with the intention of better understanding the motivating factors and assessing morale of the insurgency during the Vietnam War.[2][3] Over the course of the study, 2,371 interviews took place and over 60,000 pages of information were produced.[1] Interpretations of the study's findings were contested by people both involved and uninvolved in the project.[3]
