Vietnam - Combat And Other Activity, March 1966 - 173d Airborne Brigade, 1st Infantry Division, Australian Regiment, And Army Engineer - Annual CISM Competitions In USAREUR. Department Of Defense Pin 26962 Staff Film Report 66-13a
The Huey, and rightly so, is almost universally lauded as the best helicopter to serve in Vietnam, but in my opinion, based upon more than a decade of experience, the Chinook was an equal to the Huey, totally different roles for the most part but nonetheless the Chinook, then and now, proved it versatility, enormous lifting prowess, durability from both environmental conditions and battle damage, and for me personally, an engineers dream to work upon. I spent hundreds of hours flying in them, for air testing and transit to many many varied locations, and can honestly say that I slept really well, nylon seats or the “stack” (cargo) was fine and the lack of facilities never bothered me as flights were never that long (unless we had ERTs fitted) and then a plastic bottle was always handy, and never ever try peeing of the ramp in flight, it makes the loadmasters very grumpy and wet (it wasn’t me). The only other aircraft that I liked to sleep on was the Hercules, same again, seat or stack, maybe a hammock, were very acceptable, put me on an airliner and sleep was nigh on impossible, whatever the distance. Thanks for another excellent upload, informative and interesting. 😀👍🇬🇧🏴
Different tools for different jobs. The Chinook is sticking around because it was discovered that the V-22 Osprey couldn’t perform more than a few of the same jobs that the Chinook could, which the Osprey was intended to replace in a great many roles. Oops… It turns out that Rotors still have a greater dead-lift capability than the props of the Osprey, just as a start. That and the downdraft of the Osprey is multiple times that of the Chinook (again: Rotors v. Props).
Just so long as the timing gears which keep the two rotors from colliding don't fail. When that happens you have a few seconds before the machine falls from the sky killing all on board. Chinook has been banned from the north sea oil sector for decades due to a string of (fatal) equipment failures resulting in it being considered too dangerous and unreliable for routine commercial use.

I love Vietnam 🇻🇳 too. What a friend we have in Jesus Christ. Korea US Alliance Forever! Korea US Team Spirit Operation since Vietnam War time ! I'm Hanoi (some of my ID) But I'm not a Communist! And Never in my life !
I hate red China Communist imperialists! My ancestor came from China to Korea at kyoro Dynasty because of northern invaders Army ! They made 元 Dynasty in China. Am I Chinese? Do you think so? I'm not. I'm a Korean citizen only !! It's a fake came from China at kyoro Dynasty times. NOT KYORO DYNASTY TIMES.
I know that from 1965 to 1968 the M14 remained in service in some units, and was gradually replaced in the forward combat units with the M16. But this unit shown conducting their “Search & Destroy” mission in support of Op. Silver City seems to be equipped with BOTH the M14 and M16. I wonder how common that was?
It seems to be fairly to see a mixture of M14s and M16s in videos as the war progressed the M14 progressively disappears with the M16 taking its place. In 1965 most units in Vietnam would still be using M14s though some would be issued the new XM16E1 such as the 1st Cavalry Division. It really just varies unit to unit and year to year.
@@billkaldem5099 What's interesting is the Brit Enfield , Semi Automatic , ND a equal to the USAs M-1 Garland 30.06 ,.or 306 , as the Enfield is a 30.03 , or 303 . Now , am I correct ?
Thank you to your brother Dawn, as well as all of his family for your sacrifice, my uncle was in Vietnam in 69-70. Vietnam Veterans are the finest generation of men we will ever know. I am so tired of seeing where people try to tell them they lost, because they never did. Crooked politicians and rich trying to get richer, would give back every piece of ground they would take. The Vietnam Vets never lost, they were just following orders to come home, but they never lost. The we-the-people failed them because they didn't demand the govt. have their back and let them fight a war to win. But the soldiers never lost it. Vietnam Vets are my favorite people, they did what others didn't have the courage to. They did it without complaint, they did it because it was expected of them and for each other. They deserve the utmost respect. I love them all for paying our dues. They were sent to do an impossible task, under the most extreme circumstances, for many ungrateful people, were not appreciated and shown respect, and won every battle with great restrictions, and succeeded only to be told to give the victory back, over and over. And was misrepresented as the only losers of Americans at war, and after being treated badly and disrespected, they still forgave people when they finally realized how they had done the Vietnam Veterans. Now I don't see how people can say anything about them except that they were/are the backbone of this Nation, True Patriots, and the most humble and finest men and women this nation and the world has ever produced. A big thank you to their Australian brothers that were right there with them through it all. Vietnam Veterans living or deceased are National Treasures.
AK47 so với M16 thì AK ăn đứt M16 rồi. Đến tận 1970 M16 mới hoàn chỉnh, trước đó M16 rất nhiều lỗi. Quân Mỹ hơn đc cái là có không quân yểm trợ, giày sô, nón sắt ( chỉ đỡ đc mảnh lựu đạn từ xa, chứ đạn AK bắn thì vẫn xuyên), giáp ( nhưng đạn AK vẫn xuyên). Lối đánh của bắc việt là du kích, lối đánh du kích áp dụng rất hợp trong ct VN vì địa hình rừng chiếm nhiều, đỡ thương vong, cố gắng kéo dài cuộc chiến, để chiến đấu chính trị của bắc việt phát huy và buộc quân Mỹ rút về nước và giảm viện trợ. Chứ nếu đánh trận lớn bắc việt đâu ăn nổi. Tính đến 1968, các trận đánh thắng của bắc việt đều là hơn quân, Trận làng vây là điển hình. Còn tổng tấn công tết mậu thân, tuy áp đảo về lực lượng nhưng ko thắng nổi.
Why ? helmets of that era are protection against shrapnel , if someone fired a round directly it would have gone straight through it anyway , the fact that they are all standing up you can be pretty sure they are in no imminent danger .....
Tôi là người Việt Nam hiếm hoi coi đc video này. Tôi biết được sự thật về cuộc chiến tranh Việt Nam. Cuộc chiến tranh đó không phải là cuộc chiến tranh xâm lược mà là cuộc chiến giữa ý thức hệ. I love VNCH (ARVN) và thank you USA đã giúp cho miền Nam sống 17 năm dưới chế độ VNCH (ARVN), còn 3 năm còn lại là VNCH (ARVN) tự lực cánh sinh. Tôi hận lũ cướp đất cộng sản bắc việt. Một chế độ tự do mà lại bị chế độ độc tài cướp đất. Nếu hiện tại, so với cộng sản nguyên thủy và tư bản thì chắc chắn rằng 100% sẽ chọn tự bản.

From steamy , fetid , hot , jungle to freezing sky slopes I Finland . @ that time , the Soviet Union would of loved to take over Finland ; Ain't , and ,will never happen !
This reporting is so naive. It overtone is that everything was going ok with the effort when guys were dying elsewhere why they were filming in these location.
Would you like some, instantly, shear terror, i.e. booby trap, ambush, firefight, 5 minutes of blood, sweat, and tears as efffing frightened as you have never known , fight for your life to go along with that?......???????????
