Approximately 6,600 US Military officers and nearly 15,000 US Marines were killed in Vietnam. An educated estimation of USMC officer losses during the war might be about 2,000 or 3,000 US Marine Corps officers killed during the conflict; given the tradition of the "leading from the front" and aggressiveness of the Marine Corps.
US Army officer losses were also high, but army officers tend to let the air support and artillery do most of the fighting before they'll march into the woodline. US Air Force officer losses were primarily jet pilots and their aircrewmen.
