The US Marine Corps were the first US combat troops ashore in the Vietnam War, and for the next eight years they were involved in some of the bloodiest and hardest fought engagements of the whole conflict. This history covers the development, battles, organization, arms and equipment of all Marine units deployed in the South-East Asian Theatre of Operations from the USMC through the Koreans and Thias to the native Vietnamese.
