Although he was not a member of an elite unit by any means, they would drop him and another guy or so off in Laos for weeks at a time.
Their job was to monitor Charlie, and get the information back to their base. Scary stuff, and zero recognition later. On their best day, they called in a B52 strike, and later counted 600+ bodies.

Tell your Brother thank you from me for his work. He and his pardners found many trucks etc. for us to shoot up. Even though we had sophisticated electronic gear we couldn't find them all the time. They were well hidden and camo'd. They were also protected and surrounded by beau coup AAA guns.
Was your Brother stationed in Thailand? We had a group of those fellows at NKP when I was there. I was a member of the 18TH Special Ops. Sq., 52ND, SO Wing.
I can't imagine what your Brother went through. If I were him I'm sure my uniform would have been constantly soiled--------from the inside.
