While most Marines think of the Vietnamese Marine Corps as the
primary advisory experience during that conflict, Marines served
with other programs. One of these is the subject of this study:
Marine advisors with the Vietnamese Provincial Reconnaissance Units
(PRUs). This narrative is a combination of experience, research,
and reflection.While other journalistic or academic accounts have
been published, this is a narrative of participants. Many
historians consider the two most effective counterinsurgency
organizations employed during the VietnamWar to have been the PRU
and USMC Combined Action Platoons (CAP). The author believes that
both of these programs have applicability in any counterinsurgency
where U.S. forces are called upon to assist a host government.
