MACV-SOG Indigenous Reconnaissance Team Boarding Truck, CCC.73 — Vietnam War Era
Indigenous members of a MACV-SOG reconnaissance team, clad in tiger-stripe camouflage and heavily armed with CAR-15 rifles and an M79 grenade launcher, prepare to move out at a forward operating base. The truck's markings — "CCC.73" and "SFGA" — identify it with Command and Control Central, one of the covert cross-border reconnaissance commands run by 5th Special Forces Group during the Vietnam War. Teams like this one carried out some of the most dangerous missions of the war, including operations connected to Operation Tailwind. Project: 219515
