'''''Tour of Duty''''' was an US television series that followed a platoon of US Army soldiers through their yearlong deployment (or "tour of duty") to Vietnam during the height of the American involvement in the war. The series premiered in the US on CBS in September of 1987, during the popularity of feature films being released about the war, including movies such as ''[[Platoon]]'', ''[[Hamburger Hill]]'', and ''[[Full Metal Jacket]]''. The show aired for three seasons from 1987 to 1990 and was one of the very first to depict the conflict in a weekly television drama. While the first two seasons followed the men of Bravo Company as they served in a regular Army unit where they carried standard American weapons, [[Tour of Duty - Season 3|Season 3]] of the series had the men join the Special Operations Group or SOG, where they carried out missions while armed with more non-descript weaponry.
