Historical Context Sidebar
The People’s Army of Vietnam deployed large numbers of infantry organized into battalions and companies throughout the war. Unlike local guerrilla forces, PAVN infantry operated as formal military units, often moving down the Ho Chi Minh trail and engaging in conventional operations. They became increasingly visible in major battles like Khe Sanh, Hue, and the Easter Offensive, where their determination and discipline became legendary.
