From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
COMUSMACV (pronounced /'kɑm 'juˌɛs 'mɶk 'vi/ ["com-U.S.-mack-vee"]) was a U.S. military abbreviation during the Second Indochina War (Vietnam War) standing for Commander, U.S. Military Assistance Command, Vietnam. COMUSMACV was in one sense the top person in charge of the U.S. military on the Indochinese peninsula; however, in reality, the CINCPAC and the U.S. ambassadors to Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia also had "top person in charge" status with regard to various aspects of the war's strategy.
