	Assistance Needed w/ US Army Info Remove this text

OK, so I'm looking for an order of battle for the US Army around 1964. If anyone can point me in the right direction, that'd be great

Shi, nope, and AH, nope.

It's actually school-related research - I want to tie it into a report. I've got to take the position of Robert McNamara in 1964 and recommend a course of action WRT Vietnam. Military orders of battle and such aren't necessarily required - or even mentioned in class - but it's something I might find a way to incorporate if I get reliable info.

Try to get into the 11th Airborne. They'll become the Airmobile Test Division, and eventually the 1st Cavalry. Your enlistment should run out just as they deploy to Vietnam, ensuring that all the new guys that you haven't had time to properly train will be taking your place for the Ia Drang campaign. Good times.

Your a Sensei or Kyosa Nim or Sifu, IIRC.

Try this:

#1-Go to Dojo

#2-Get your nose broke

#3-Go to your Academic Classroom

#4-STATE VERY CLEARLY THE FOLLOWING:

I Put my Nose where it shouldnt have been and got it broke! Fortunately I will recover and I still have my Life. This was not the case with American Occupation in Southeast Asia

Now, thats just ONE OPTION...

Then you could expound how the Government Twists Politcal Gains to extort political/economic gains..



NOT THAT IT WOULD Happen nowadays mind you..

Peace & Good Luck!

Floyd could go to Vietnam and they could make a movie about it called Platoon.

1984..........

Oh Wait..That would be George Orwell.a Police State..





(Wasn't Vietnam a POLICE ACTION??)

Now to reply to Mr.AH:

Platoon.....

Stanley Kubrick did a very entertaining job there.....

I also enjoyed 84 Charlie MoPic..

yes, i believe the order of battle in 1964 was the following.

1) find the enemey
2) shoot at the enemy until he is dead.
3) at no time should you let the enemy find you, without finding him first. if you do, follow instructions in step #2, and don't let it happen again.
4) try not to get yourself killed.
5) repeat these instructions, beginning with #1

No, Korea was a police action. U.S. intervention in Vietnam was not sanctioned by the U.N.

(Hey, anybody ever notice that "sanction" is it's own antonym? "Because we did not sanction [give permission to] your conduct, we're going to sanction [punish] you now." It's kinda like cleave [cling together, chop in two]. Who invented this stupid language anyway?? )

ISTR a book called something like the American Army in Viet Nam, or Viet Nam: the Decline of an American Army. VEry specific about units, etc. But the author starts in 1965, IIRC. I take it you're looking for a global order of battle for 1964.

LotM is correct. Global OrBat for the US Army (preferably entire military), unit by unit on the scale of independent brigades/regiments, and divisions.
