New Zealand combat involvement in Vietnam began with the arrival in Saigon of the 161st Battery, RNZA, equipped with L5 pack howitzers, in July 1965.
Although convenient for New Zealand, given the small size of its infantry contingent, and reasonably effective in practice, the integration meant that the New Zealand identity of the units, and the artillery, tended to be overshadowed by the Australians.
