During the Vietnam War, the U.S. military launched a massive effort to strengthen South Vietnam’s forces and gradually shift the responsibility of the war effort to them—a strategy known as Vietnamization.
As American troops phased out, South Vietnamese soldiers, police, and local defense forces stepped up, supported by advisors and military aid. From riverine warfare in the Mekong Delta to air strikes from massive aircraft carriers, the conflict was fought on land, sea, and air.
With a mix of military strategy, civic action, and counterinsurgency, this transition aimed to secure a nation under siege while changing the course of history.
