This is the second volume in a series of nine chronological
histories being prepared by the Marine Corps History and Museums
Division to cover the entire span of Marine Corps involvement in
the Vietnam War. This volume details the Marine activities during
1965, the year the war escalated and major American combat units
were committed to the conflict. The narrative traces the landing of
the nearly 5,000-man 9th Marine Expeditionary Brigade and its
transformation into the Ill Marine Amphibious Force, which by the
end of the year contained over 38,000 Marines. During this period,
the Marines established three enclaves in South Vietnam's
northernmost corps area, I Corps, and their mission expanded from
defense of the Da Nang Airbase to a balanced strategy involving
base defense, offensive operations, and pacification. This volume
continues to treat the activities of Marine advisors to the South
Vietnamese armed forces but in less detail than its predecessor
volume, U. S. Marines in Vietnam, 1954-1964, The Advisory and
Combat Assistance Era.
