1. The US Military obtained their men from the American population.

2. The needs of the US military was manpower which was pooled into various branches of the service such as: The Air Force, Marines, Navy, Coast Guard, or Army. The manpower was either conscripted (drafted) or volunteers (which includes draft induced volunteers).

3. Of those military branches the Vietnam War needed mostly soldiers (army) and marines. Aviators was the second number required; airmen came from the Air Force, Navy, Marines, and Army (mostly helicopter pilots).

4. Its the job of Generals (or used to be) to distribute the forces. Field Grade officers control the battlefield and company grade officers fight the battles.

5. Generals selected the groups needed for the war; Infantry (grunts), armor (tankers), artillerymen (cannons), or airmen (pilots, door gunners, etc.). The field grade officers controlled the battles with those forces distributed to them; and the company grade officers fought the battles.
