S-5 was civilian affairs. I think that this section was a new creation for Vietnam. I don't think that this was a full-time job. It seems like whoever was the S-5 officer also had some other duties. S-5 handled compensation claims for damages caused by Marines. I remember these compensation amounts to families, which also demonstrate what a strange place the RVN was:

$25US Kill a civilian
$33US Injure a civilian
$150US Kill a water bull
