The Army of the Republic of Viet Nam (ARVN), sometimes referred to as the South Vietnamese Army (SVA), was the Ground Forces branch of the Republic of Vietnam Military Forces, the official military of the Republic of Vietnam (South Vietnam). By September 1959, the South Vietnamese Army (SVA) had been organized into seven standard divisions of 10,450 men each and three Army corps headquarters. Each division consisted of three infantry regiments, an artillery, a mortar, and an engineer battalion, and company-size support elements. The airborne troops were organized into a five-battalion group and the armor branch into four armored cavalry "regiments" (approximately the equivalent of a U.S. Army cavalry squadron), each containing one squadron (U.S. troop) of M24 light tanks and two squadrons of M8 self-propelled 75-mm. howitzers. The eight independent artillery battalions were equipped with U.S. 10-mm, and 15-mm. pieces. Tactical control was divided between I Corps at Da Nang for the northern and central areas, II Corps at Pleiku for the Central Highlands provinces, and III Corps at Saigon for the southern part of the country. Saigon city remained a special military district. ARVN existed from 1955 until the fall of Saigon in the spring of 1975. It is estimated to have suffered 1,394,000 casualties (killed and wounded) during the Vietnam War. Worldwide combined shipment is welcome to save you money.
