2nd CAG Details
CAP's (Combined Action Platoon's) were units where Marines would, live, train, and patrol with local Vietnamese PF's (Popular Forces) in their villages and who were little more than armed civilians. A squad of Marines would be assigned to villages that had a high enemy presence, to instill the fighting spirit in the local PF's so they can protect their families and fellow citizens against their enemy the Viet Cong and NVA.
