US Special Forces in Vietnam created and trained the Civilian
Irregular Defense Group, a large paramilitary organization designed
to operate out of fortified camps in remote areas and protect the
local population from Viet Cong incursions, whilst conducting
border surveillance, raids and combat patrols in the local area.
Their fortified camps were often overrun by the Viet Cong and,
having no spare manpower, the US Special Forces created dedicated
reaction units which could act in a responsive and flexible manner
- Mobile Strike (MIKE) Forces.
This book examines the MIKE units, which were formed from the CIDG,
the parachute and airmobile training they were given, and the
operations that they undertook, from relieving friendly camps to
large-scale independent offensive operations. Written by Gordon L.
Rottman, a former US Special Forces soldier in Vietnam, this title
provides the first organizational history of the MIKE forces in
this conflict.
