To name a few important items:
1. M41 Walker Bulldog light tanks for their armored forces.
2. A1 Skyraiders for their air force.
3. M16 assault rifles for their infantrymen.
Note: Number 3 is important because since 1955 the South Viet infantryman had been armed with US WWII rifles & machine guns. (# 2) Although the A1 Skyraider was a "WWII designed" airplane (propeller driven) it didn't fight in WWII; its first war was in Korea...and the A1 (nicknamed the SPAD and Sandy) was probably the best ground attack plane in the war because it carried more bombs and bullets and stuck around the battlefield longer than any other US warplane. The A1 had to be replaced because they were being used up and no more were being built. Todays famous A-10 Warthog (jet) is the equivalent of the A1 Skyraider...in performance, mission, durability, reliability, firepower, and protection.
