This one I just found is a rare picture of men from the 2d Brigade, 1st Infantry Division landing at Vung Tau on 13 July 1965, at the beginning of the massive US troop build-up in the Republic of Vietnam. The 1st Infantry arrived in Nam with it's old M-14 rifles, the new M-16s going in priority to elite units such as the 173d Airborne Brigade, the 101st Airborne Division or the 1st Cavalry Division.

The original picture is 2800x2200 and you can see it in all its glory here at CMH: -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cambodia Discussion (CAMDISC) - www.cambodia.org" group.
