This chart is from Tal Tovy, The Theoretical Aspect of Targeted Killings: The Phoenix Program as a Case Study (2009; .pdf link at bottom of abstract), summarizing neutralization of VCI (Viet Cong Infrastructure):
Phoenix Stats 1968-1972.jpg
The footnotes show 1972 as a partial year; and Moyer's book as the source for the chart:
There are a number of online articles that get into Vietnam War detentions arising from Pacification in general and Phoenix in particular; but those tend to be more qualitative than quantitative.66 Until July 1972, when the Phoenix Program ended as part of the process of evacuation of the American forces from South Vietnam.

I'll stop now and you can tell us what type of historical data would be useful.
