Dinassaut Operations in Indochina: 1946-1954
Abstract
The French Division d'hInfanterie Navale d'Assaut? more commonly referred to as the Dinassaut, developed riverine doctrine during the First Indochina War to a level not attained since by Expeditionary Forces. The United States Navy borrowed heavily from the French experience during its own river wars in Vietnam ten years later. However, renewed interest by the Marine Corps in riverine operations as part of Expeditionary Maneuver Warfare overlooks these lessons as only a small solution to a unique war. The Marine Corps is heading in the wrong direction.
