From May 1954 to June 1964, the MAAG/MACV was commanded by Samuel T. Williams, Lionel C. McGarr, Charles J. Timmes, and Paul D. Harkins in succession.The most famous American general in Vietnam, General William C. Westmoreland served as commander of MACV from 1964 to 1968. He was succeeded by General Creighton Abrams.
