rivdiv111

River Division 111 (RivDiv 111) was a unit of the United States Navy's Mobile Riverine Force during the Vietnam War. Established in 1967, RivDiv 111 operated heavily armed Patrol Boat, River (PBR) craft to conduct river patrols, interdiction, and support operations primarily in the Mekong Delta. The unit played a critical role in Operation Game Warden, aimed at denying Viet Cong forces the use of vital waterways for movement and supply. RivDiv 111 engaged in numerous combat encounters, often under heavy fire, and contributed significantly to controlling the complex riverine environment until its deactivation in 1970.
