Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry

	Vietnam War
		The Vietnam War was in many ways a direct successor to the French Indochina War, sometimes referred to as the First Indochina War, in which the French fought, with the financial and logistical support of the United States, to regain control of their former colony in Indochina.
		The unstated goal of Vietnamization was that the primary burden of combat would be returned to ARVN troops and thereby lessen domestic opposition to the war in the U.S. During this period, the United States conducted a gradual troop withdrawal from Vietnam.
		Vietnam released figures on April 3, 1995 that a total of one million Vietnamese combatants and four million civilians were killed in the war.

		He pointed out that the 7th Air Force did not have a control means to handle even a fraction of the 1,000 Army aircraft that were in I Corps and that the 7th Air Force message itself was not valid since that headquarters was not in the U. Army, Vietnam, command channel.
		The Air Force reaction to a possible enemy air threat was predictable and, in their estimation, the only realistic option at that time.
		However, the terminology "air cavalry division" was revoked by Department of the Army on 26 August 1968, and the designations were reestablished as the 101st Airborne Division (Airmobile) and the 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile).
