- Das Combined Action Program war ein taktisches Konzept des U.S. Marine Corps während des Vietnamkrieges in der Zeit von 1965 bis 1971. Als Teil einer asymmetrischen Kriegführung hatte es zum Ziel, Teileinheiten („Züge“) des Marine Corps zusammen mit Einheiten vietnamesischer Milizen, dauerhaft und in der Fläche disloziert, zu stationieren und, von regulären Truppen nahezu autark, gegen Einheiten der nordvietnamesischen Vietcong oder der Vietnamesischen Volksarmee einzusetzen.Die Idee war es hierbei, Züge oder Gruppen des U.S. Marine Corps mit lokalen, vietnamesischen Milizen oder Paramilitärs (local/popular forces) zu vereinen und diese, vietnamesischen Dörfern und Gemeinden als örtliche, kombinierte Verteidigungseinheiten (combined action/defense platoons) fest zuzuordnen, um das zugewiesene Gelände und die dort lebende Zivilbevölkerung vor dem Einfluss des nordvietnamesischen Vietcong abzuschirmen. Diese kombinierten Einheiten lebten unter der Zivilbevölkerung, hatten ihre Stützpunkte in unmittelbarer Nähe zu den zugewiesenen Ortschaften und stützten sich logistisch zum Teil auf die lokale Infrastruktur ab. Die „Combined Action Platoons“ (CAP) operierten möglichst ausschließlich in diesen designierten Ortschaften. (de)
- The Combined Action Program was a United States Marine Corps counterinsurgency tools during the Vietnam War. It was widely remembered by the Marine Corps as effective. Operating from 1965 to 1971, it placed a thirteen-member Marine rifle squad, augmented by a U.S. Navy Corpsman and strengthened by a Vietnamese militia platoon of older youth and elderly men, in or adjacent to a rural Vietnamese hamlet. In most cases, the Popular Forces militia members (Nghia Quan) were residents of the hamlet who were either too young or too old to be drafted into the Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) or the Regional Forces (Dia Phuong Quan). The entire unit of American Marines and Popular Forces militia members together was designated as a Combined Action Platoon (CAP). The program was said to have originated as a solution to one Marine infantry battalion's problem of an expanding Tactical Area of Responsibility (TAOR). The concept of combining a squad of Marines with local (PFs) and assigning them a village to protect proved to be a force multiplier. While the exact implementation varied with the stage of the war and local command variations, the basic model was to combine a Marine squad with local forces to form a village defense platoon. It was effective in denying the enemy a sanctuary at the local village level. The pacification campaign seemed to work under the CAP concept, and the Marines fully embraced it. Objectively, there is no solid proof that the CAP concept was a resounding success; however, subjectively the evidence suggests otherwise. "Counterinsurgency operations and, in particular, the establishment of a foreign internal defense lends itself for the greatest utility of employing a CAP-style organization. Recent operations in Somalia, Haiti, and Bosnia suggest a CAP-style organization could accomplish the assigned mission." In Iraq and Afghanistan, the Marines reinstituted a variant of the CAP. (en)
