The Undeclared War

What starts as a ripple becomes a wave, and with the United States involvement in Vietnam, it began as a contingent of U.S. "military advisors" after the attack at Dien Bien Phu. From there it turned into "non-official combat missions," and finally, after an unprovoked torpedo attack by a North Vietnamese patrol boat against the unsuspecting U.S. destroyer Maddox, it became "The Undeclared War."

Search and Destroy

While the method of "search and destroy" is the ultimate goal for any armed conflict, it developed a new face in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War. With the absence of an actual front line, the North circumvented skirmishes by entering neighboring Cambodia, only to reappear within striking distance of the South stronghold of Saigon. With such bold initiative, the American contingent retaliated with heavily armed helicopter gunships from the U.S. First Air Cavalry Division, thus introducing the world's first helicopter-based military formation at the battle of the La Drang Valley.

War on the DMZ

Unlike the two world wars and the many before, the conflict in Vietnam was void of a so-called front line. Battles were fought in pockets of resistance, with troops dropped in by helicopter. What did exist was the section of the country dividing the North from the South known as the DMZ (De-Militarized Zone). This was often an arena of heavy combat, and Battlefield Vietnam: War on the DMZ highlights such furious fighting as "Operation Hastings" and "Operation Prairie."
