Portrait of Indigenous Team Member with Rifle in Cleared Field
A member of a MACV-SOG reconnaissance team, likely an indigenous soldier who served alongside American Special Forces advisors, stands in a cleared field carrying an M16 rifle. Indigenous personnel, including Montagnard and Nung soldiers, played a vital role in SOG cross-border operations in Laos, including Operation Tailwind in 1970. Project: 219490
