Ill-Fated Americal General Axed Over Mary Ann Disaster
AP reports two star general Maj Gen James L. Baldwin and four others received letters proposing administrative actions tied to the Firebase Mary Ann defense failures. Baldwin, 50, previously commanded the ill-staffed Americal Division and was reassigned after being relieved last July. The probe cited failure to ensure adequate defense measures around Mary Ann, a key Americal unit base, linked to the My Lai context and broader Viet Nam war events including a 1989 antiwar protest. The story also notes the division’s name change to the 23rd Infantry Division and its later deactivation and Viet Nam return.
