ARVN Troops, Vietnam War (Late War)

The Tet Offensive in early 1968 had enormous consequences for all involved, but for the Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN), it showed that many units could perform well, and gave them more of a belief in their own abilities as well as showing what might happen if the South succumbed to the Communists.  However, it also caused the gradual withdrawal of U.S. forces from South Vietnam, leaving the ARVN to take over more and more responsibility.  Eventually all foreign ground forces left the country, and for a while, the ARVN successfully protected the country from both external aggression and internal insurrection.  However, a limited offensive by the North at the end of 1974 quickly routed much of the ARVN and panicked the South’s politicians, giving the North a golden opportunity to continue the rapid advance until, in April 1975, the city of Saigon was captured.  With its fall came the end of South Vietnam, and, therefore, the end of the ARVN, although it had largely crumbled by that time already.
