History of the VIETNAM 1958-1965 Battle Streamer

On July 1, 1958, the United States Air Force began its involvement in Vietnam by advising and assisting the fledgling Vietnamese Air Force. Initially focusing on a small section within the Military Assistance Advisory Group, the U.S. support gradually increased as the Communist guerrillas (Viet Cong) initiated armed struggle in September 1959. By early 1961, the Vietnamese Air Force had combat-ready squadrons, and the U.S. deployed additional advisors. The fall of 1961 saw the establishment of a mobile combat reporting post, marking a significant presence of USAF personnel in South Vietnam. As Viet Cong strength grew, conventional battles ensued against South Vietnamese troops. The timeline extends until July 3, 1965, overlapping with the designated Vietnam Campaigns under the Armed Forces Expeditionary Service.
