## Resource

Long before modern Tier 1 units existed, a shadow command of Green Berets, Navy SEALs, and CIA operatives rewrote the playbook for clandestine warfare under the cover of the Vietnam War. We delve into the complex organizational structure and psychological operations of MACV-SOG, exploring how their highly classified intelligence gathering shaped the future of modern American special operations. Discover the staggering cost of these invisible campaigns, the long battle for declassification, and why their tactical doctrines are still studied in deep-cover defense circles today.
