Military Assistance Command Vietnam established to provide support and coordination during Vietnam War.

The Military Assistance Command Vietnam (MACV) was established in 1962 during the early stages of American involvement in the Vietnam War. This marked a significant escalation of military support from the USA to South Vietnam. MACV served as the command structure for all US military operations in Vietnam and played a crucial role in advising and coordinating South Vietnamese forces. The creation of MACV symbolized the deepening commitment of the US government to the conflict, ultimately leading to a massive escalation of troops and resources in the years to come. This moment underscores the growing entanglement of the USA in the Vietnam War and its lasting impact on both countries. #MACV #VietnamWar #USMilitaryInvolvement
