During the Vietnam War, particularly from 1968 to 1970, the US Army deployed various combat units throughout South Vietnam to engage in military operations against North Vietnamese forces and the Viet Cong. Key units included the 1st Infantry Division, 101st Airborne Division, and the 25th Infantry Division, which were stationed in regions such as the Mekong Delta, Central Highlands, and near major urban areas like Saigon. The map of these units would illustrate their locations, operational zones, and the dynamics of troop movements in response to the evolving conflict during that period.

The United States had been involved in South Vietnam for five years in 1968 when it reached the height of its involvement with 543,000 active servicemen stationed in South Vietnam. Following the election of Richard Nixon in November 1968 and following his strategy of "Vietnamization", handing more control and responsibility to the South Vietnamese government, the amount of active U.S. servicemen would decline until their final withdrawal in 1973.
