A soldier from Company H, 2nd Battalion, 9th Marine Regiment is depicted in this 1966 photograph, crouched by a fence while guarding the evacuation route during a critical operation in Da Nang, Vietnam. This official U.S. Marine Corps photo captures the tension and urgency of the military's role in protecting civilians and non-essential personnel amid the ongoing Vietnam War. The Vietnam War was marked by numerous evacuations, particularly in urban areas like Da Nang, as increasing conflict led to the need for military intervention to ensure civilian safety. The U.S. Marines were heavily involved in these operations, showcasing their commitment not only to combat but also to the protection of non-combatants during hostilities. The photograph highlights the realities faced by soldiers during this tumultuous period and serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities of warfare.
