The United States' involvement in the Vietnam War during the years 1970-1971 was a crucial period characterized by the Nixon administration's strategy of Vietnamization. The policy aimed to transfer the responsibility for the war effort to the South Vietnamese government and military while gradually withdrawing U.S. troops.During this period, the 4th Infantry Division of the United States Army continued its operations in Vietnam. The 4th Infantry Division had been deployed to Vietnam earlier in the conflict, and its activities in 1970-71 were part of the broader effort to implement the Vietnamization policy.Key events and operations involving the 4th Infantry Division during this time may include:Operation Jefferson Glenn (January 1970): The 4th Infantry Division was involved in this operation in the Central Highlands, aiming to disrupt North Vietnamese Army (NVA) and Viet Cong (VC) activities.Operation Texas Star (May 1970): The division conducted operations in the Pleiku and Kontum provinces during this period, continuing efforts to interdict NVA and VC supply routes.Cambodian Incursion (April-July 1970): The United States and South Vietnamese forces launched an incursion into Cambodia to disrupt NVA and VC sanctuaries. The 4th Infantry Division was likely involved in this operation.Redeployment and Vietnamization (1971): As part of the ongoing Vietnamization process, U.S. forces, including the 4th Infantry Division, began to withdraw from Vietnam. The South Vietnamese Army assumed a more significant role in combat operations.Shipping is made within 24 hours by USPS airmail with tracking information.
