The 7th Infantry Division of the Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) was one of the divisions that served during the Vietnam War. The ARVN was the military force of South Vietnam, and its divisions were responsible for defending the country against communist forces, primarily the Viet Cong and the North Vietnamese Army (NVA).

The 7th Infantry Division, like other ARVN divisions, played a role in various campaigns and battles during the Vietnam War. Some of the actions involving the ARVN 7th Infantry Division included:

1. The Battle of Dong Xoai (1965): The division was involved in this major battle, which took place in the Phuoc Long Province. The battle was one of the early large-scale engagements of the war and marked a significant conflict between ARVN forces and the Viet Cong.

2. Tet Offensive (1968): The ARVN 7th Infantry Division, along with other ARVN units, participated in the defense of South Vietnam during the Tet Offensive. This large-scale offensive by communist forces had a profound impact on the course of the war.

3. Cambodian Incursion (1970): The division played a role in the ARVN's incursion into Cambodia in an effort to disrupt North Vietnamese and Viet Cong sanctuaries and supply routes.

Like many ARVN units, the 7th Infantry Division faced challenges related to political corruption, leadership issues, and a lack of popular support. These factors influenced the effectiveness of ARVN forces during the war.

The division's service is part of the broader history of the ARVN's efforts in defending South Vietnam during the Vietnam War. The conflict ultimately ended with the fall of South Vietnam to North Vietnamese forces in 1975.
