Vietnam Studies: The Development and Training of the South Vietnamese Army 1950-1972

By James Lawton Collins Jr.

This book, covering the three stages in the growth and development of the South Vietnamese Army, highlights the role of the U, S. Army, especially the MACV advisory system, Most of the material presented is based on official historical summaries prepared on a regular basis by the major U, S. military commands in South Vietnam. Special attention is given to the expansion of South Vietnam's training base and her increasingly sophisticated military school system. While such a study can do no more than survey these activities, it does reflect the deep and continuous commitment by thousands of American soldiers to make the South Vietnamese Army a self-sufficient force capable of defending itself with minimum outside assistanc
