This archival document recounts the rescue of the last three American soldiers stranded near Kham Duc Special Forces Camp in May 1968, saved by a coordinated Air Force effort involving A-1H Skyraiders of the 6th Air Commando Squadron and HH-3E 'Jolly Green Giant' helicopters of the 37th Aerospace Rescue and Recovery Squadron. Guided to the men by a makeshift paper SOS signal spotted from the air, the mission stands as one of the Vietnam War's notable combat search-and-rescue operations, exemplifying the close cooperation between forward air controllers, strike aircraft, and rescue helicopter crews.
