Description
You are nineteen years old and you have just stepped off the skid into elephant grass taller than you are. The helicopter is already gone. Five other men within reach, no friendly troops behind you, and the veterans crouched beside you are not afraid of the enemy yet. Right now the most dangerous thing in this jungle is you.
This is the first thirty days of a Vietnam long range reconnaissance patrol: why six-man teams took no more than two new men at a time, how MACV Recondo School tried to break them before the enemy could, what a hundred-pound ruck and a week of unacclimated heat did to a body, the false-touchdown insertions, the discipline of doing nothing, and the one mission near the Cambodian border that shows exactly how thin the margin was. Every claim sourced.

📕 We put everything we had into this book, for the men and for the families who never got the story: The Documented History of MACV-SOG in Vietnam. Every claim sourced. $11.99: https://truevietnamdocs.com
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
LRRPs fought on the map everyone agreed to fight on. MACV-SOG crossed the border into Laos and Cambodia, into the places the United States officially was not, and their recon casualties climbed past one hundred percent. That is the war we put in the book.
The SOG Files is the documented history of America's secret war across the fence: the missions that were denied, the deniable weapons, the gear, the six-man team that vanished after a two-word radio call, and the famous SOG "facts" that turn out to be myths. Every number carries its source, so you can go check us.
