The longest and largest troop deployment to Vietnam is underway. The 100 and 1st Screaming Eagle Air Born Division leaves the States. Huge Star Lifters and Cargo Masters transport the troops on their 10,000 miles journey. The troops bring the American force in Vietnam to 480,000. Military troops stand out side a cargo plane waiting to board. Troops enter through a small door on the plane's side. A shot from underneath the stairs shows boots stepping upward. The huge plane is shown taking off from a nearby grassy field. Troops unload the plane in Vietnam. Close-ups of troops show them marching carrying equipment.
