Operation Silver Bayonet - Vietnam War 1965

The political-military escalation in Southeast Asia in the 1960s led to one of the longest and most complex conflicts in recent history.
The United States supported the South Vietnamese government against the North Vietnamese regular troops, flanked by the People's Liberation Forces, commonly known as the Viet Cong.
The ground war began in 1965 and ended just ten years later with the fall of Saigon and the evacuation of the last American soldiers.
The long years of war, which began with an air raid on North Vietnam, were characterized by clashes and fighting in a harsh rural environment with vegetation and village structure that provided ideal conditions for guerrilla warfare.
Unfortunately, a large number of civilians suffered from the war and military operations.
US military superiority, which involved the massive use of helicopters and armored vehicles, was offset by the effective tactics of the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong
