Dating to around 1967, these silent films were shot by U.S. Army cameramen, and brought back to the USA by one of them before winding up in the Periscope Film collection. This one starts with images of General Westmoreland visiting the 9th Infantry Division headquarters. At :42 he boards a jeep and waves goodbye. At 1:17 he is seen reviewing soldiers of the 9th Thai Army volunteer regiment. At 2:24, Westmoreland visits another base. At 4:00, a headquarters building is shown with signs indicating “Chief of Staff” and “Commanding General.” At 4:19 a fleet of helicopters flies overhead in a line formation. At 4:41 an out-of-focus slate is seen. At 5:57, Westmoreland is seen boarding a Huey helicopter. At 7:00, POV shots from a truck or jeep are shown. At 8:00, Westmoreland boards another jeep. At 8:19 a building, the “Reliable Memorial Chapel” is shown. (This was likely the chapel at the 9th Infantry Division base.) At 10:06 a sign reads, “Today is Sunday, Attend Chapel”.
