Military Assistance Command, Vietnam Information (192 words) |
 | The U.S. Military Assistance Command, Vietnam, or MACV (phonetically mack vee), was the United States unified command structure for all its military forces in South Vietnam during the Vietnam War. |
| MACV was created on February 8, 1962 in response to a substantial increase in U.S. military assistance to South Vietnam. |
| MACV was first implemented to assist the Military Assistance Advisory Group (MAAG) Vietnam, which controlled all advisory and assistance efforts in Vietnam, but was reorganized on May 15, 1964 and absorbed MAAG Vietnam into its command structure when the deployment of U.S. combat units became too large for an advisory element to control. |
