MY VIETNAM EXPERIENCE 

MORE INFO ON THE 173RD AIRBORNE IN VIETNAM 

During the Vietnam War, U.S. airborne forces conducted a significant number of parachute jumps, although exact numbers can vary based on different sources. Estimates suggest that there were approximately 2,500 to 3,000 airborne jumps made by U.S. troops in Vietnam.

These jumps were primarily carried out by units such as the 173rd Airborne Brigade and other airborne divisions, and they were often conducted for various missions, including combat operations, reconnaissance, and troop insertions. Additionally, the South Vietnamese Airborne Division also participated in airborne operations throughout the conflict.
