II Field Force, Vietnam

II Field Force, Vietnam vznikl v lednu 1966 v texaském Fort Hood znovuaktivováním a přeznačením XXII.sboru. Ve Vietnamu začal II FFV působit od 15.března, jeho úkoly byly obdobné jako u I FFV, ale plnil je ve III.CTZ.

II FFV bylo zrušeno 2.5.1971, tedy o pár dní později než I FFV, od 30.4.1971 ho nahradil Third Regional Assistance Command (TRAC) - ve stejný den vznikl i Second Regional Asssistance Command (SRAC) pro II.CTZ a Delta Regional Asssistance Command (DRAC) pro IV.CTZ. Pro oblast hlavního města existovalo Capital Military Assistance Command, Vietnam (CMAC), ale to bylo založeno už po ofenzívě Tet v roce 1968. Všechna tato velitelství regionu (včetně FRAC v I.CTZ) zanikla s odchodem Američanů v březnu 1973.
