When I reported to Nha Trang I really knew nothing about SOG. It was a word you occasionally heard whispered in the dark corners of the Club. I was assigned to Command and Control Detachment, North. I was disappointed since I really didn't want to spend my time in a COMCEN in some HQ unit. As things turned out, I got more than I bargained for.
In the old days we really did some Studying and observing. How many of y'all remember bring back little bottles or baggies with soil samples?
SOG is a little word for a big organization including all four services. OTOH when people hear SOG they thnk of our Recon peograms.
SOG was great because of Special Forces which was great long before SOG and still is, after SOG.
