Although the Australians did send some warships to bombard the enemy Coastlines "from the gun-line", no Australian forces conducted air campaigns against North Vietnam. The majority of Australian fighting men performed their duties as infantrymen, artillerymen, and Centurian tank crewmen. Approximately 26 Australian Centurian tanks (one squadron) were committed to combat in Vietnam, and over 50,000 Australians unltimately served there, of which about 19,000 of them were draftees. Australians fought fire with fire, and engaged NVA/VC forces on the same level(s); small unit contacts. The rumor in Vietnam was, that the NVA/VC would rather fight GI's than the Australians.
