The 5th Battalion, 60th Infantry Regiment (Mechanized), known as "The Go Devils," was a unit of the 9th Infantry Division during the Vietnam War. Arriving in Vietnam in late 1966, the battalion became one of the first mechanized infantry units to operate in the challenging Mekong Delta region. Utilizing armored personnel carriers (APCs), the 5/60th conducted search and destroy missions, riverine operations, and joint actions with the Mobile Riverine Force, adapting mechanized tactics to the Delta’s difficult terrain. The battalion participated in major operations such as Operation Coronado and contributed significantly to counterinsurgency efforts before the 9th Infantry Division’s redeployment in 1969.
