The rule of thumb is 5 to 1. It takes approximately 5 men to support 1 fighting man (Feeding him, paying him/administration, patching him up (medical), supplying him, and transporting him). At the height of the war there were over 500,000 US servicemen in South Vietnam (RVN); on the average there were 25,000 men in the field on any given day.
