A U.S. Special Forces advisor stands with an indigenous team member at a forward base camp in Vietnam, circa 1970. This photograph comes from the personal collection of Captain Eugene 'Gene' McCarley, who commanded the MACV-SOG Hatchet Force company during Operation Tailwind — the September 1970 cross-border raid into Laos that became one of the most storied and controversial missions of the covert war along the Ho Chi Minh Trail.
