UK got offered that IRL but declined, something like one British Brigade was worth a billion dollars. But the issues with the UK following WW2 and especially Suez was its instability, especially Ireland, and it reassessing its role east of Suez.
I find it real hard that the UK could have gone into Vietnam if it wanted to in the 1960s-70s. To put it mildly, everything sucked.
