U.S. Army Soldiers in Informal Gathering, Southeast Asia — Larry Groah Collection, Operation Tailwind Materials
American soldiers share an informal moment together, likely at a forward base club in Southeast Asia during the era of Operation Tailwind, MACV-SOG's covert 1970 incursion into Laos. Photographs like this one, taken by veteran Larry Groah, capture the camaraderie and downtime between missions that defined life for special operations personnel far from the front pages of the war.
