A must-have reference volume for any advanced Vietnam War collector. Produced by the renowned Schiffer Military History, this book offers an exhaustive look into the unique and varied equipment of U.S. Advisors. Unlike regular line infantry, advisors had access to a wide range of non-standard gear, which is meticulously documented here.

  • Scope: Covers Army, Navy, and Marine Corps advisors attached to ARVN Ranger, Airborne, and Infantry units, as well as Junk Force and RAG teams between 1957 and 1972.

  • Imagery: Richly illustrated with high-resolution photos of rare artifacts (patches, modified uniforms) alongside period black-and-white photos showing the gear in action.

  • Detail: Includes in-depth analysis of insignia, local-made camouflage, footwear, and personal items that define the "Advisor look."
