Members of a special reconnaissance team gather at the ramp of a support helicopter during operations in Southeast Asia circa 1970. Units such as MACV-SOG conducted highly classified cross-border reconnaissance missions into Laos and Cambodia, relying on Air Force and allied helicopter crews for insertion and extraction under hazardous conditions. The non-standard weapons and camouflage uniforms seen here were typical of the specialized equipment issued to these reconnaissance teams. Project: 219491
