The Tet Offensive was a coordinated series of attacks by Viet Cong guerrillas and North Vietnamese army during the Vietnam war on more than 100 cities and outposts in South Vietnam. It started on 30th Jan 1968 (1st day of the Vietnamese Tet Lunar New Year) and lasted until 28th Mar 1968. Though the Americans and South Vietnamese forces managed to crush the attacks, the news coverage of the offensive turned the American public against their country's involvement in the war, leading to the withdrawal of American forces from South Vietnam and eventual victory for North Vietnam. The Tet offensive was the turning point of the Vietnam war. DAY 1 SAT MAR 17: Danang arrival – Hai Van Pass – Hue (L/D) Depart KLIA2 airport 10.30am. 12.10pm arrival in Danang International Airport.

  • Chapter 6 the EARLY MODERN BRIGADE, 1958-1972 Pentomic
    Chapter 6 THE EARLY MODERN BRIGADE, 1958-1972 Pentomic Era Following World War II, the US Army retained the organizational structures, with minor modifications, which had won that war. This organization—which did not include a maneuver unit called the brigade after the two brigades in the 1st Cavalry Division were eliminated in 1949—was also used to fight the Korean War in 1950-1953. Despite the success of the triangular infantry division in two wars, the Army radically changed the structure in 1958 by converting the infantry division to what became known as the Pentomic Division. Ostensively, the Pentomic structure was designed to allow infantry units to survive and fight on an atomic battlefield. Structurally it eliminated the regiment and battalion, replacing both with five self- contained “battlegroups,” each of which were larger than an old style battalion, but smaller than a regiment. A full colonel commanded the battlegroup and his captains commanded four, later five, subordinate rifle companies. The Pentomic Division structurally reflected that of the World War II European theater airborne divisions. This was no surprise since three European airborne commanders dominated the Army’s strategic thinking after the Korean War: Army Chief of Staff General Matthew Ridgway, Eighth Army commander General Maxwell Taylor, and VII Corps commander Lieutenant General James Gavin. Though theoretically triangular in design, the two airborne divisions Ridgway, Taylor, and Gavin commanded in the war, the 82d and 101st, fought as division task forces reinforced with additional parachute regiments and separate battalions. For most of the Northern European campaign, both divisions had two additional parachute regiments attached to them, giving them five subordinate regiments, each commanded by colonels.

  • History of Company "C", 158Th Aviation Battalion " Phoenix
    History of Company "C", 158th Aviation Battalion " Phoenix" Introduction Each military unit has its own unique history and "Charlie" Company is no different. There was an attitude of " I'll come get you today out of that hot Landing Zone because tomorrow you may have to make the same decision to get me out". The Phoenix suffered more casualties in a two-year period than any other aviation unit in Viet Nam. 129 They served in an area of South Viet Nam in which all types of terrain and enemy forces were encountered. Fifty percent of all US casualties during the Vietnam War were suffered in I Corps. 101 The men who served with this unit are proud of their contribution to the Viet Nam War and Army Aviation. Sometimes the best reward for heroism was the smile on the face of the man who had been snatched from the jaws of death. During their service with the 101st, the Phoenix were involved with three major battles- Hamburger Hill, Firebase Ripcord, and Lam Son 719. There were other battles but not as notable as those three battles. “The aviation units were the sole combat element of the U.S. Army that did not come apart under the stress of the war in Vietnam. Nearly 6,000 helicopter pilots and crewmember perished, but the Army airmen never cracked. Whether it was the oneness of men and acrobatic flying machine, whether it was the equally shared risk of officer pilot and enlisted crewmember, whatever the reason, the men of the helicopters kept their discipline and their spirit.

Scales: Well, my father was a Mustang, member of the first OCS class for the Corps of Engineers in 1942. Because he wasn’t a West Pointer, and most engineers were at that day, he served with a Boat and Shore Regiment, the Amphibs, and he fought through New Guinea, the Philippines, and was on his way to Japan when the atom bomb hit. I was born during World War II, and I didn’t see my father till I was almost two years old. But my father told me from the very beginning that if I wanted to be an Officer I had to go to the trade school, and by that he of course meant to go to West Point.
