United States Army Vietnam

United States Army Vietnam (USARV) was an corps-level support command of the United States Army in the Vietnam War. USARV was created on July 20, 1965 out of the U.S. Army Support Command, Vietnam.

USARV controlled the activities of all U.S. Army service and logistical units in South Vietnam until May 15, 1972, when its structure was merged with the Military Assistance Command, Vietnam (MACV) to become USARV/MACV Support Command, which was disbanded on March 28, 1973 after completion of withdrawal of all combat and support units.

USARV controlled nine major support commands in Vietnam, and also supervised 71 smaller units under the organizational titles "offices", "agencies", "groups", "facilities", "centers", "depots", "teams", "activities", "elements", "companies", and "detachments".Its nine major commands were:
*1st Logistics Command
*1st Aviation Command
*18th Military Police Brigade
*34th General Support Group
*44th Medical Brigade
*525th Military Intelligence Group
*US Army Security Agency Group
*US Army Engineer Command (Provisional)
*US Army Headquarters Area Command (USAHAC)
