15 reactions | Meet the PBR! Not Pabst Blue Ribbon but "Patrol Boat, River" Today is Vietnam War Veterans Day. The US Army just got a Vietnam Era Gunboat to put on display at one of their museums. This is much different than the boats we see today. Big Salute and thank you to all of our Vietnam Veterans. | Special Warfare Airmen | Facebook

Engines rumble to life as the river patrol boat slips free from the dock, its wake breaking the still water. Men settle into their stations, eyes scanning the horizon. Another mission begins—out there in the unknown. #VietnamWar #PBR #BrownWaterNavy #RiverPatrol #MilitaryHistory | Ghosts of the Battlefield

Two Patrol Boat, River (PBR) crews slice through the murky waters of the Mekong, passing a U.S. Navy Landing Ship, Tank (LST) on station. These small but heavily armed boats were the backbone of Task Force 116—“Operation Game Warden”—patrolling enemy-infested rivers in South Vietnam, interdicting supplies, and responding to ambushes at a moment’s notice. This is what brown-water warfare looked like—swift, dangerous, and unforgiving. #PBR #BrownWaterNavy #RiverPatrol #VietnamWar #USNavy #LST #Ope
