Just an fyi, the Coast Guard was the first combat military unit to serve
in Viet Nam. Their boats were best suited to the shallow rivers and the
Delta.

They were also the first guys in the original "Desert Shield"
operation. Again, they had the right boats and skills to get in close.

And, the advantage that if their boat sinks, they can walk to shore.
