Captain Willard
Capt. Benjamin L. Willard is a fictional character in the 1979 film Apocalypse Now, played by Martin Sheen. According to the insigniae on his uniform, and/or the soldier who escorts him from his initial, stoically bitter monologue in a sparsely-furnished bedroom, to his pre-action briefing, Willard is from 505th Battalion, of the elite 173rd Airborne Brigade, assigned to MACV-SOG; the briefing involves mention of his intelligence/counterintelligence work for the CIA, carrying out secret operations including assassinations.
Both scenes also establish he worked COMSEC. An attempt to re-integrate into home-front society had apparently failed prior to the time at which the film is set, and he returns to the jungle-combat zones of Vietnam, where he seems to feel more at home. A special operations officer assigned to MACV-SOG, he has been serving in Vietnam for three years.
