US Navy coverage on Vietnam: Rare footage from the Vietnam War | Declassified footage

This footage from the Vietnam War shows combined US-South Vietnamese counterinsurgency efforts. See Vietnamese troops sweep areas to search for Viet Cong insurgents and weapons caches. Captured prisoners and documents provide intel. American advisors assist ARVN units with planning and logistics. A CH-21 delivers Vietnamese air assault troops into a landing zone to continue flushing out guerrillas. Despite challenges, Allied cooperation steadily progressed, combining strengths to clear and secure contested regions. These joint operations honed Vietnamese forces’ skills while eliminating VC sanctuaries. Such combined efforts were integral to counterinsurgency strategies aiming to transfer responsibilities as Vietnamization moved forward.
