Navy weighs deactivating 5th Marine Division in Vietnam
The Navy is considering disbanding the West Coast based 5th Marine Division to trim defense spending this year. About one third of the division is in Vietnam around Da Nang, with two other regiments stationed at Camp Pendleton. Officers said the 26th Regiment could be recalled for deactivation, a move likely requiring substantial Marine cuts in Vietnam as White House troop withdrawal plans unfold.
