MACV-SOG Indigenous Recon Team Member Preparing Rucksack, Gene McCarley Collection
An indigenous member of a MACV-SOG Reconnaissance Team packs his rucksack at a Forward Operating Base, preparing for a covert cross-border mission into Laos or Cambodia. Teams like this one relied on close coordination with USAF A-1 Skyraider 'Sandy' pilots, who provided air cover and extraction support during the Studies and Observations Group's classified operations of the Vietnam War.
