Indigenous MACV-SOG Allied Troops Resting in Banana Grove, Operation Tailwind Collection
Allied indigenous troops, likely Montagnard fighters attached to a MACV-SOG Hatchet Force, rest in a banana grove during operations in Southeast Asia. Photographs like this one, from the Don Boudreaux collection documenting Operation Tailwind, capture the close bonds formed between American Special Forces advisors and their indigenous counterparts.
