It was part of the IV Corps, which oversaw the Mekong Delta region of the country. HistoryThe Seventh Division was based in Mỹ Tho, and due to the division's close proximity to the capital Saigon was a key factor in the success or failure of the various coup attempts in the nation's history. As a result, the loyalty of the commanding officer of the division was crucial in maintaining power. In the coup attempt of 1960, the loyalist General Huỳnh Văn Cao used the Seventh Division, commanded by Trần Thiện Khiêm to storm into Saigon to save President Ngô Đình Diệm. However, in the successful coup attempt of 1963, the plotters managed to have the Seventh Division transferred temporarily to the III Corps of Tôn Thất Đính, with Diem unaware that Dinh was with the rebels. Dinh then placed a rebel subordinate in command of the Seventh Division, preventing the rest of Cao's IV Corps from saving Diem. References
