Seller's Description:
New in New jacket. 9.9 x 6.9 x 1.5 inches. pp. 672. New, pristine. Describes the role of military engineers in the Vietnam War. The building effort in South Vietnam allowed the United States to deploy and operate a modern 500, 000-man force in a far-off region. Although the engineers faced huge construction tasks, they built ports and depots, carved airfields and airstrips out of jungle and mountain plateaus, repaired roads and bridges, and constructed bases. The engineers grew from a few advisory detachments to a force of more than 10 percent of the Army troops serving in South Vietnam. The 35th Engineer Group began arriving in large numbers in June 1965 to begin transforming Cam Ranh Bay into a major port, airfield, and depot complex. Within a few years, the Army engineers had expanded to a command, two brigades, six groups, twenty-eight construction and combat battalions, and many smaller units. Profusely illustrated with maps and photographs. Large, heavy volume; additional shipping cost for international. // Shipped carefully packed in a sturdy box.
