Answer 2

Approximately 2,594,000 US Soldiers, Marines, Airmen, Sailors, and Coast Guardsmen fought in Vietnam during it's duration. Of that figure, approximately 500,000 were "in country" all at the same time for a period of time. At it's height, approximately 25,000 men were in the "field" on any one given day (an average). Subtracting a certain percentage of men who are rotating between base camps during "stand downs", anywhere from 475,000 down to 450,000 men were conducting or assigned to "support duties", e.g. truck drivers, administrative personnel, medical corps, K-9 corps, engineers, aircraft maintenance personnel, military policemen, cooks, supply personnel, etc. The general rule at the time was, it took 5 men to support one fighting man. He had to be fed, supplied, transported, patched up, and paid.
