We were fighting both the North Vietnamese Army, and the "Viet Cong." Viet Cong translates to People's Army. They were mostly South Vietnamese citizens recruited by North Vietnam agents to help the North fight to unify Viet Nam. Both armies were supplied with Chinese and Russian military equipment and weapons.
Approximately 391,000 US Marines served in the Vietnam War; approximately 14,838 US Marines died in Vietnam.
The Army had around 4,368,000 members. The Marines had about 794,000. The Navy generally had 1,842,000. Lastly, the Air Force probably had about 1,740,000.
I don't have an exact figure for you but I can tell you the number would be in the millions. You could contact the Army museum. They may have the exact numbers and the US Census Bureau may have the figures too. Go to the link I have provided for you below.
The Vietnam War was fought with a traditional American military; as with WW2 and the Korean War before it, with women serving as nurses. Those past wars were fought with women in the WAC's, WAVEs, WAFs, and WMs (Womens Army Corps, Women Allowed in the Navy for Voluntary Emergency Service, Women in the Air Force, and Women Marines). In 1975, to make room for the ALL VOLUNTEER military, those women "corps" were DISBANDED.
