The same as with US troops, RVN training (Republic of South Vietnam orientation). One to two weeks of reactionary fighting from the back end of the cargo trucks, jeeps, walking down a path with an AI (Assistant Instructor) who pulled a string that popped up a man-shaped target and you would have to shoot at it from the hip (with-out aiming your rifle). Continue walking with the AI down the path, then he'd pull another target, you'd fire at that one too, etc.

Did any UK nationals fight in the Vietnam war?
Officially only Australian and New Zealanders fought in Vietnam, NOT men from Great Britain. ^^^ Wrong British troops did not fight alongside the American's in the Vietnam war. However, British troops were stationed in South Vietnam on the 13th September 1945. They were charged with restoring French rule over Vietnam. They released French Military units previously arrested by the Japanese, maintained order and were to a drawn into clashes against the Viet Minh in Southern Vietnam. The French may not have been able to establish a foothold in Southern Vietnam and force the Viet Minh out of Saigon without British assistance. Not so much fighting but more restoring order
