MACV Team 9

MACV Team 9, also known as Advisory Team 9, was a United States Military Assistance Command, Vietnam (MACV) advisory unit during the Vietnam War. Activated in the early 1960s, Team 9 was primarily assigned to Binh Dinh Province in the II Corps Tactical Zone. The unit’s mission was to advise and support the Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) 22nd Infantry Division and local territorial forces in their operations against the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese Army. Team 9 played a crucial role in coordinating U.S. support, including artillery, air strikes, and logistics, while also training South Vietnamese forces in counterinsurgency tactics until the drawdown of American forces in the early 1970s.
