MACV Advisory Team 20

MACV Advisory Team 20 was a United States military unit that operated during the Vietnam War as part of the Military Assistance Command, Vietnam (MACV). This team was primarily assigned to advise and support the Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) forces in Binh Dinh Province, located in the II Corps Tactical Zone along the central coast. Their duties included providing tactical guidance, coordinating U.S. air and artillery support, and assisting in logistical and intelligence operations to bolster South Vietnamese military effectiveness against Viet Cong and North Vietnamese forces. Advisory Team 20 played a significant role in pacification efforts, village security, and the implementation of Vietnamization policies until the drawdown of U.S. involvement in the early 1970s.
