198th Americal Division

The **198th Infantry Brigade** was a unit of the U.S. Army that served as part of the **Americal Division (23rd Infantry Division)** during the Vietnam War. Activated in 1967, the brigade was deployed to Vietnam, where it participated in major operations such as the Tet Offensive and Operation Wheeler/Wallowa in the I Corps Tactical Zone. The 198th was involved in both combat and pacification missions, facing heavy engagements with North Vietnamese and Viet Cong forces. The brigade remained in Vietnam until the drawdown of U.S. forces, and it was inactivated following the Americal Division’s stand-down in 1971.
