Description:

The U.S. Navy played a vital role in the prosecution of the conflict in South Vietnam. The importance of this contribution was probably best expressed by COMUSMACV, General William C. Westmoreland, USA, in comments he made at a Mission Council meeting held on 19 September 1967. The United States Navy has not received due credit for the sizable contributions its forces have made to the war in South Vietnam. Market Time activities have, for all practical purposes, sealed off the coast. Game Warden operations are increasingly denying the enemy the use of inland waterways. Thirdly, the riverine operation has no parallel in the history of warfare. All of these operations are unique innovations effectively adapted to the situation in South Vietnam. The fine efforts of the Navy should not continue to go unnoticed.
