While there is no single sourcebook for this, there is a lot of support.

GURPS High-Tech has a ton of equipment, weapons, and vehicles. GURPS Tactical Shooting would also be useful for completists, and for those looking for incorporate a lot of detail in their combat sequences.

GURPS SEALs in Vietnam includes more vehicles, weapons, and equipment, plus templates for SEALs and GM advice for the setting, including stats for the VC and NVA.

GURPS Special OPs provides a lot of support for Vietnam War play.

GURPS Action 7: Mercenaries would be useful to anyone incorporating heavy combat in to their game, and the BATTLE system could easily provide for a cinematic treatment of the war.

This Pyramid 4 edition has two of my articles on the Phoenix Program and its warriors, plus GM advice, and city-stats for Saigon in 1968.

What additional GURPS sources would you use for this setting?

If it involves military organizations or other groups the PCs work for, Social Engineering: Pulling Rank. Possibly Hot Spots: Sriwijaya for lost cities and such.

Hey, thanks very much.

One of the sources from your blog: VEHICLE COLLECTION FOR GURPS Fourth Edition, has been deleted from scribd.

Is there any way to repost it or is there another way to get it?

Then it's the link from the blog that's the problem.

Just want to say the vehicle pdf is amazing. It has so much stuff that I've either been looking for or had to convert myself. Thank you for sharing.
