An advisor to the South Vietnamese Navy Mobile Riverine Forces in
1970-1971, U.S. Navy Commander Richard Kirtley was tasked with
helping implement Nixon's policy of "Vietnamization"-the rapid
drawdown of U.S. troops to bring an abortive end to the Vietnam
War. The program called for the turnover of arms and equipment to
South Vietnamese forces, while U.S. personnel trained their
counterparts to continue fighting the war alone. The U.S. Navy's
supporting effort, Accelerated Turnover to the Vietnamese (ACTOV),
emphasized "Accelerated." Kirtley's account gives an up-close look
at the futility and frustration of the advisory effort during the
withdrawal, the implementation of both programs-doomed to failure
yet hyped to cover a lost-cause retreat-and their disastrous
outcomes.
