After graduating from RMC Duntroon, Peter Scott served in Japan with BCOF, and then in Korea with 3RAR. He also served at Woodside with 4RAR during 1963/5, before assuming command of 3RAR in 1969. COMMAND IN VIETNAM briefly traces his early career, but mainly focusses on the issues and problems of commanding an Australian infantry battalion [3RAR] during the war in South Vietnam in 1971. Commanding Officers rarely write about their experiences, but Colonel Scott is well qualified to compare the command and operational issues in Vietnam with those of the Korean War. Well illustrated, COMMAND IN VIETNAM reviews each of the main operations undertaken by 3RAR; Scott also provides a fascinating insight into a war during which, operations were usually controlled from the COs helicopter, rather than from a remote HQ. Includes roll of honour, honours and awards, 3RAR chronology and nominal roll of those who served in SVN with 3RAR for both tours.
