Originally published in 1998. From the foreword: "In view of his
unique experiences as a senior Marine commander in Vietnam and his
extensive efforts to communicate his views and his combat knowledge
to the troops he commanded, it was decided to republish a series of
articles that Lieutenant General Herman Nickerson, Jr., wrote in
1969-1970 while he was Commanding General, III Marine Amphibious
Force (III MAF), which were published in Sea Tiger, the weekly
newspaper distributed throughout the III MAF area of northern South
Vietnam. General Nickerson commanded the 1st Marine Division in
Vietnam from 1 October 1966 to 31 May 1967 and returned to that
embattled country to command the III MAF from 27 March 1969 through
9 March 1970. During this latter tour of duty, in order to make up
in part for an in-person briefing and welcome he used to give
incoming officers and staff noncommissioned officers of the 1st
Division, he began writing a series of articles for publication in
Sea Tiger. In these short pieces, he covered a wide range of
topics, some related to combat service in Vietnam, but many more to
the Vietnamese people and the role of Americans in their support."
