ANGLICO: "Super Grunts" of 1st ANGLICO were deployed to all four
tactical zones of Vietnam in small mobile fire control teams,
providing support to U.S. Army and allied elements. This
organization was the last tactical unit to stand down from the war
and gained distinction as the only Marines in-country reporting
directly to MACV. Working closely with Korean Marines, recounting
several actions involving these legendary warriors from the Land of
the Morning Calm, this little known but highly effective unit had
an impact on the war far greater than their small numbers. Field
radio operators and naval gunfire spotters composed the tactical
membership of this unit. Both professions were cross trained in
each competence, and each in turn was further qualified as tactical
air controllers. An airborne capable platoon was established,
mandating many ANGLICOs attend jump school and undertake other
specialty training in the event they are called on to enter combat
by unconventional means. Not being able to predict who they may be
called on to support, training was pushed to the level of the most
elite forces in the free world. BLUE DRAGONS: Most men of the Blue
Dragon Brigade came of age during a war that raged fierce on their
own homeland little more than a decade earlier. During a short
lived occupation by North Korea, the people of the south endured
extremely harsh treatment by would be conquerors. Events of recent
history still burned in their hearts and haunted their dreams. They
were mostly all children at the time leaving scarcely a man
untouched by personal tragedy that could only be forged in a
crucible of terror. Many were orphaned and all shared a thirst to
settle a score that only those who drink deep from the same cup of
dread can truly understand.
