From the Gene McCarley Collection, an indigenous member of a MACV-SOG reconnaissance team packs his gear at a forward operating base before a cross-border mission. Teams like his, drawn largely from Montagnard, Nung, and other indigenous soldiers under American Special Forces advisors, carried out some of the most dangerous reconnaissance operations of the Vietnam War, including Operation Tailwind.
