The '''Army of the Republic of Vietnam''', commonly abbreviated to '''ARVN''', was the main land force of [[South Vietnam]], which existed from 1955 until the fall of Saigon in 1975. The ARVN was completely supplied by the [[United States]] in weaponry and vehicles. After the reformation from the Vietnam National Army, the ARVN focused on defending South Vietnam from [[Viet Cong]] guerrilla forces. Once the full-thrown Vietnam War started, the ARVN saw less and less action in the war, mostly being replaced by American forces on the battlefield. Usually, the ARVN came after the initiation of American operations and supported American troops. ARVN forces also stayed within occupied cities and areas to defend against counter-attacks. In the final stages of the war, with the retreat of American forces from Vietnam, the ARVN was the bulk of the remaining anti-communist aligned forces and eventually failed to hold back overwhelming [[North Vietnamese Army|NVA]] forces which led to the fall of Saigon. After that, ARVN soldiers were reformed into the Viet Nam People's Army, while officers were exiled to the United States.
