Australian Army Training Team Vietnam

The Australian Army Training Team Vietnam (AATTV) was a group of military advisors sent to South Vietnam during the Vietnam War from 1962 to 1972. Its primary mission was to train and assist the Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) to combat communist forces, particularly the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese Army. The AATTV consisted of experienced soldiers who provided tactical training, strategic advice, and support to enhance the effectiveness of Vietnamese troops. Their involvement was part of Australia's broader commitment to support the U.S. and allied efforts in Vietnam during a tumultuous period in history.
