The 8th Army Korea is a United States Army unit that is stationed in South Korea. It serves as a key component of the United States Forces Korea, providing military support and security in the region. The 8th Army Korea is responsible for maintaining peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula through partnerships with the South Korean military and other international allies. Its mission includes deterring aggression from North Korea and conducting training exercises to ensure readiness for any potential threats.

The Military Assistance Command, Vietnam (MACV) was established in February 1962 as the principal United States military command in South Vietnam during the Vietnam War. Its mission was to provide military assistance, training, and advisory support to the South Vietnamese armed forces while coordinating and overseeing all U.S. military operations in Vietnam. MACV grew significantly during the 1960s, eventually commanding hundreds of thousands of U.S. and allied troops at the height of American involvement. The command played a central role in major campaigns such as the Tet Offensive and was dissolved in March 1973 following the withdrawal of U.S. combat forces and the implementation of the Paris Peace Accords.
