History

Development

The Vietnam War (1955–1975) marked a major shift in modern combat, introducing jungle warfare, rapid helicopter mobility, and widespread use of automatic rifles. U.S. troops deployed in varied gear—from early-war olive drab to later-war Tiger Stripe and ERDL camouflage—while Viet Cong and North Vietnamese Army forces relied on guerrilla tactics, simple uniforms, and durable Soviet-designed weapons such as the AK-47.

Role

American soldiers operated in small units, conducting patrols, ambushes, and search-and-destroy missions across dense jungles and rugged terrain. The Viet Cong played a pivotal asymmetric role, using traps, tunnels, decentralization, and surprise attacks to challenge a technologically superior opponent.

Significance

The Vietnam War reshaped global politics, military doctrine, and public perception of conflict. It stands today as one of the most studied and discussed wars in history. This Mil-Blox set pays tribute to the soldiers on both sides—highlighting the complexity, bravery, and hardship of jungle warfare during the Vietnam era.
