This extremely rare and museum-grade artifact is an original very limited early printing of the Vietnam War “Indochina Monographs” operational reports published by the U.S. Army Center of Military History (Washington D.C.).
Titled “STRATEGY AND TACTICS - Col. Hoang Ngoc Lung” this Indochina Monograph report was written by officers who held positions in the Cambodia, Laotian, and South Vietnamese armed forces during the Vietnam War in Indochina.
This specific report of the Indochina Monographs was written with intelligence and first-hand accounts from Col. Hoang Ngoc Lung. At the age of 22, Hoang Ngoc Lung was promoted to Battalion Commander and was the youngest Captain, commanding nearly 500 soldiers of the 720th Battalion in the Mekong Delta. In 1971, Colonel Hoang was officially appointed as Head of Section II of the Commanding General's Office, or chief intelligence officer. Hoang Ngoc Lung was highly respected by many for his integrity, significant contributions and leadership, and awarded the highly esteemed National Medal of Honor and the Legion of Honor of the United States, as well as accolades from American military organizations, the Allied Forces, the King of Thailand, the government of Korea, and the government of Taiwan.
This original Vietnam Wa “Indochina Monographs” operational report series was produced in very limited quantities, however, what makes this particular report even rarer is that this report comes directly from the private collection of Brigadier General George E. Barker when he was issued this report during his command of the 407th Civil Affairs Battalion.
As noted in the Monograph series by Brigadier General Douglas Kinnard (Cheif of Military History) the Vietnam War “Indochina Monographs” operational report series show one of the most extensive and detailed views of the Vietnam War as it was not edited or altered to reflect the view of the U.S. Army or the Department of Defense.
