This research map identifies the general area associated with a 1968 reconnaissance mission near the Laos-Cambodia border. The map references the loss coordinates for Robert F. Scherdin, a team member listed as Missing in Action, and the nearby area associated with Robert L. Howard, who was awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions in this general region. MACV-SOG conducted highly classified, small-unit reconnaissance operations along the Ho Chi Minh Trail corridor throughout the Vietnam War, often at great personal risk to team members.
