The Marines have a superb historical division and many of the Vietnam-related publications listed here can be downloaded as pdf's.

Enjoy. There is a wealth of material out there.

One more Rand study of a small engagement which has a useful order of battle for the Marines and NVA.
The Q & A around page 50 also has some fascinating stuff- an interview with the Company commander who for example notes the vulnerability of the machine gunners and how they would action their fire to avoid giving away their positions.

Some lovely figures coming out now Ged. Beautifully scaled and proportioned and they look great when painted. Look forward to further releases.

Received an order of your recent officers and RTO packs, very impressed with the castings and quick turnaround on the order. Thanks!

I have started reading it.

The USMC TOE has a smaller headcount than others I have seen (including on this forum). Is this due to casualties?

I assume the "officers" mentioned include NCOs.
