During Vietnam war, New Zealand service personnel (NZATTV, NZSAS) and civilian volunteers were in the jungles, skies, hospital wards, training camps, villages, and offices of South Vietnam from 1963 to 1975. Joining the US-led campaign to curb the spread of communism in Southeast Asia, New Zealand’s military force in the Vietnam War peaked at 548 in 1968. Over seven years, more than 3000 served from Army, Navy, and Air Force. Thirty-seven were killed and 187 wounded. New Zealand’s combat commitment to the Vietnam War came in July 1965, when an artillery battery replaced the non-combatant engineers. In April 1967, a tri-services medical team set up in Bong Son. A month later, the first company-strength unit of the 1st Battalion, Royal New Zealand Infantry Regiment (1RNZIR) was deployed from its operational post in Malaysia where, since 1964, they were part of the British Commonwealth Far East Strategic Reserve in the Borneo Confrontation Campaign in Borneo. A second infantry company was deployed to Vietnam before the end of 1967. New Zealand army personnel also provided administrative support in Vietnam for those in action. V Force HQ staff operated out of Saigon, and 60 personnel were attached to the 1st Australian Logistic Support Group (1ALSG) at Nui Dat. The latter included two army nurses per rotation at the 1st Australian Field Hospital in Vung Tau. A New Zealand Special Air Service (NZSAS) troop joined the Australian SAS in December 1968, and a small number of Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) personnel served as helicopter pilots or forward air controllers.
