Pages five and six of an official after-action report chronicle a pivotal engagement during Operation Tailwind, the September 1970 MACV-SOG raid into Laos. The typewritten account details a helicopter shootdown and rescue, close air support with cluster munitions, and a company-sized assault on a fortified enemy base camp — a firsthand record of one of the Studies and Observations Group's most storied cross-border operations.
