US Marines & US Sailors got there by ships. US Soldiers originally deployed with their whole units, thus they too went to South Vietnam by ship. After the USA units were in place (in country) then replacements usually arrived by chartered civilian airliners (like TWA, Flying Tiger Airlines, Braniff, etc.). US Marines/Sailors continued to deploy via ocean going vessels.
