COMNAVFORV

**COMNAVFORV** stands for Commander, Naval Forces, Vietnam, a major United States Navy command during the Vietnam War. Established in 1966, COMNAVFORV was responsible for overseeing all U.S. naval operations in the Republic of Vietnam, including riverine warfare, coastal surveillance, and logistics support. The command directed critical operations such as Operation Market Time and Operation Game Warden, aimed at interdicting enemy supply lines and securing the waterways. COMNAVFORV played a vital role in supporting South Vietnamese and allied forces until its disestablishment in 1973, following the drawdown of U.S. military involvement in Vietnam.
