During the Vietnam War, the Military Assistance Command, Vietnam
Studies and Observations Group (MACVSOG) was a highly-classified,
U.S. joint-service organization that consisted of personnel from
Army Special Forces, the Air Force, Navy SEALs, Marine Corps Force
Reconnaissance units, and the CIA. This secret organization was
committed to action in Southeast Asia even before the major
build-up of U.S. forces in 1965 and also fielded a division-sized
element of South Vietnamese military personnel, indigenous
Montagnards, ethnic Chinese Nungs, and Taiwanese pilots in its
varied reconnaissance, naval, air, and agent operations. MACVSOG
was without doubt the most unique U.S. unit to participate in the
Vietnam War, since its operational mandate authorized its missions
to take place "over the fence" in North Vietnam, Laos, and
Cambodia, where most other American units were forbidden to go.
During its nine-year existence it managed to participate in most of
the significant operations and incidents of the conflict. MACVSOG
was there during the Gulf of Tonkin incidents, during air
operations over North Vietnam, the Tet Offensive, the secret
bombing of and ground incursion into Cambodia, Operation Lam Son
719, the Green Beret murder case, the Easter Invasion, the Phoenix
Program, and the Son Tay POW Raid. The story of this extraordinary
unit has never before been told in full and comes as a timely
blueprint for combined-arms, multi-national unconventional warfare
in the post-9/11 age.Unlike previous works on the subject, Black
Ops, Vietnam is a complete chronological history of the unit drawn
from declassified documents, memoirs, and previous works on the
subject, which tended to focus only on particular aspects of the
unit's operations.
