In 1967 LIFE photographer Co Rentmeester connected with a unit of American paratroopers as they made the first combat jumps of the Vietnam War. The use of paratroopers was part of the incremental escalation that defined the war in Vietnam, and they were deployed in service of America’s biggest military operation to that point. But what made Rentmeester’s photos stand out is the intimacy and intensity of his paratrooper portraits, which resonate beyond their moment in history. The operation made the cover of LIFE’s March 10, 1967 issue. Rentmeester’s photos capture the daring of the Second Battalion of the 503rd Airborne Infantry Regiment as soldiers descended on Vietnam’s dried-up rice paddies during Operation Junction City.
