Description

ARVN 2nd Battalion, 56th Infantry Regiment – DMZ – KHE SAN Vietnam War

Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN), representing the 2nd Battalion, 56th Infantry Regiment. The numbers “2/56” clearly identify this specific unit, and the Vietnamese phrase “GIỚI TUYẾN” on the patch translates to “demarcation line” or “frontline,” suggesting the unit’s operational focus, possibly near the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). This regiment was part of the ARVN’s 3rd Division, which was formed in 1971 and played a significant role in conflicts in areas such as Quảng Trị and Da Nang.
