i did a report a long time ago in school and researched this information. On average there were only about 35,000 combat soldiers in Vietnam, on the average. Which made up only about 10% of the total American soldiers in Vietnam. It takes alot of support personnel to take care of the logistics, administrative needs, and etc... for each combat soldier. The number of combat soldiers in Vietnam rose to approximately 50,000 combat soldiers during the Tet Offensive.

LaoDiscounting SF and SEALS; there may have been one combat jump, possibly by the 173rd Airborne Brigade. However, the 82nd Airborne did make a very short tour in Vietnam, and they possibly made a combat jump also. The Vietnam War was a transitioning war in which the "Airborne men" of WWII fame were being replaced by the new "Airmobile men" who rode helicopters into battle. The Commander in Vietnam, GEN Westmoreland was an "Airborne Man." His replacement, GEN Abrams was an "Armor Officer" (a tanker).
