Rock Island Arsenal ASC Series: Vietnam: From Tet to Saigon ‘75
Join Kevin Braafladt, the Army Sustainment Command Historian at the Rock Island Arsenal, and the Army Sustainment Command History Office in exploring the history of the Rock Island Arsenal and American military conflicts throughout the years.
Through the vicious conflict of Vietnam, an amalgamation of information began to flood the American media. In addition, doctrine was challenged not only be combatants, but by the public. During this final presentation in the series, we will discuss the influence of media and the military, cover the staple campaigns of the final years of the war, and the several years of withdrawal up to the infamous 1975 evacuation of Saigon.
This program is scheduled to be held in person. The event will be recorded and available on the Davenport Public Library's YouTube.
