Vietnam war tactics mirror frontier guerrilla fighting says Lt Gen Michaelis
Lt Gen John H. Michaelis former commander of the 25th Division’s Wolfhound Infantry discusses how Vietnam mirrors frontier warfare with hit and run tactics. He notes Korea featured defined perimeters while Vietnam places enemies in close jungle cover, sometimes yards away, and explains training shifts toward rapid, hip firing and quick kill methods. He recalls his WWII service, earning two battlefield decorations, and his role in defending the Pusan perimeter before commanding the Wolfhound unit.
