Where were the river wars in Vietnam fought?
The US Navy created another navy for the Viet War; the Brown Water Navy. The last time the USN had a Brown Water Navy was the US Civil War in 1861-65. Now...for 1965 they started a new one; Swift Boats (PCFs), Patrol Boat River (PBRs), Alpha Boats (ASPBs-Assault Support Patrol Boat), and Monitors (Riverine Battleships, converted WWII LCMs). MR-4 (Military Region IV or IV Corps) the Mekong Delta was the primary operational region for the US Navy Brown Water Navy (aka Riverine Forces). With over-laps in the MR3 and working along up the coast line all the way up to MRI (most commonly called I Corps) which was the DMZ (17th Parallel). Any place there was a river in South Vietnam, there might be a prowling USN riverine boat. Monitors were armed with 40mm cannons or 105mm cannons mounted in turrets. Alpha boats were the destroyers of the rivers and performed many "mine sweeps"; Swift Boats and PBRs had the firefights along the river banks mainly against recoilless rifles (57mm), RPGs, mortars, and machineguns.
Were was the 175 gun first used in Vietnam?
Vietnam was divided by the US military into 4 Military Regions, also called Corps: MR1, MR2, MR3, MR4, or I Corps, II Corps, III Corps, IV Corps. 175's landed in country in '65. The only noted ones were SPs (Self Propelled Guns). The most dangerous AOs (Areas of Operation) in South Vietnam were the Highlands (II Corps) and I Corps; that's where the NVA were. South of those two AOs were mostly VC. The 175's appeared to be concentrated in I and II corps. Normally only one 175mm gun would be at a Firebase (also called LZ's-Landing Zones). Firebase Blackhawk at the top of the Mang Yang Pass in the Highlands had one such gun. The only good thing about 175's for non-artillerymen, was you could tell when they were going to fire it...it would lower it's tube for loading...when it raised, everyone could plug their ears; because they knew it was going to fire. The worst thing about firebases in South Vietnam was that they were very noisy. And you couldn't carry on a conversation with a 175mm banging away. Batteries of 155mm SPs were also bad, the vibrations from those guns, six to a battery (after Vietnam the army went to 8 guns per battery) would knock the paper plate full of YOUR FOOD out of your hands. And while holding your food, you couldn't plug your ears. 105mm field guns were also bad, but they were smallest batteries at a firebase, still noisy. 105's & 155's were stationed at Firebases by the battery (six guns), but the 175's seemed to be alone.
