When referring to the US casualties, some men were hit within 30 days of in country duty (after the 1 to 2 week RVN orientation-Republic Vietnam Orientation). Some GI's were hit with less than 30 days remaining of their tour. Those men were called "short timers", and as time passed, the Army often went out of their way to assign those GI's to rear area duties.
