Tour
of Duty

Tour of Duty is an American drama television series on CBS which ran from 1987 to 1990. The show follows an American infantry platoon on a tour of duty during the Vietnam War.

It was the first television series to regularly show Americans in combat in Vietnam and was one of several similarly-themed series to be produced in the wake of the acclaimed Oliver Stone film, Platoon.

The show addressed the issues of racism, suicide, fragging, terrorism, civilian deaths, drug abuse, and the shattered lives and confused feelings of those troops who finally made it home alive.

The first season was filmed on location in Hawaii at Schofield Barracks.

For the second and third seasons the series was filmed around Los Angeles, California in order to reduce costs.
