...moved steadily up the army ladder. In 1956, and again in 1960, he was sent to the U.S. for specialized military training. He put in four years as commandant of the National Military Academy at Dalat, a period that to this day continues to provide him with a reservoir of support among many middle-grade officers who look up to him as their teacher.
