Headquaraters, US Army Vietnam

Headquarters, US Army Vietnam (USARV) was established in 1965 to oversee United States Army operations during the Vietnam War. USARV served as the principal Army command in the theater, coordinating logistics, administration, and combat operations for all Army units in Vietnam. Headquartered at Long Binh, near Saigon, USARV played a pivotal role in supporting the buildup of American military forces and the execution of major campaigns, including the Tet Offensive. The headquarters remained active until 1972, when it was inactivated following the drawdown of U.S. forces and the transition to South Vietnamese control under the Vietnamization policy.
