Indigenous Troops Filling Canteens at U.S. Army Tanker Truck, Forward Base - Operation Tailwind Collection
Indigenous CIDG troops fill canteens at a U.S. Army water/fuel tanker at a forward base in Vietnam's Central Highlands. These irregular forces, often recruited from Montagnard tribes, worked closely alongside American Special Forces and MACV-SOG advisors on high-risk reconnaissance and strike missions such as Operation Tailwind.
