Were the majority of the U.S. Army Infantry Battalion and Brigade Commanders in Vietnam between 1965-1968 WWII or Korean War Veterans?

Greetings,

I'm a PhD Candidate and a recently retired US Army CSM and my dissertation topic is on the Vetnam War and specifically on the Maneuver Commanders between 1965 to 1973.

I suspect that the majority of the early Battalion  and Brigade Commanders who deployed to Vietnam between 1965 to 1967 were either WWII or Korean War veterans. I am aware of several "3-war" personalities such as then, LTC Hl Moore etc.

How can I confirm deny my suspicions?

Any and all help is tremendously appreciated!
