SOG RETRACT

Midnight on April 30, 1972, the men, the missions, and "MACV Studies and Observations Group" became history. SOG was closed. The "Strategic Technical Directorate" replaced SOG. The Advisory Team's (STDAT # 158)" senior American advisor and commander, at that point, was an American Special Forces officer (Colonel Presson) whose task was to ensure the proficiency of the elements in the Strategic Technical Directorate.
From January 1964 until the end of April 1972 the operational areas of SOG were wide-ranging, extremely dangerous, and stretched from the southern provinces of China to the southern delta region of Cambodia. MAC-SOG operational clements from Operation 31 and 34(A), and Operation 33 and 34(B), conduct-ed their assigned tasks in the northern-most regions of SOG's operational area. Operation 80 (Recovery Studies Division), initially using Naval facilities and helicopters, and reconnaissance teams from Operation 35, planned and conducted its rescue and recovery missions throughout North Vietnam. In an ongoing contribution, Operation 35 and 36 conducted bold and daring reconnaissance missions into the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), Laos and Cambodia.
During these final years, the operational commitment from SOG, and its volunteer contingent from Special Forces, answered the challenges as set forth by the Communist doctrine produced in the shadow governments of North Vietnam, Red China, and Moscow.
The reconnaissance information gathered on the North Vietnamese continued to produce qual-lity intelligence for American and allied field commanders. SOG's involvement in the war ended with a bang rather than fading with a whimper.
In June 1972 Gen. Frederick C. Weyand became the last commander of the Military Assistance Command, Vietnam (MACV).
On March 12, 1973, the "Vietnamese Strategic Technical Directorate (STD)" closed down all of its inherited SOG operations - and disbanded. On March 29, 1973, the commitment and operations of MACV were ceased as quietly
as they were begun. The "Military Assistance Command, Vietnam (MACY)" was deactivated

STD/RVN MACV-SOG

The Military Assistance Command, Vietnam Studies and Observations Group (MACV-SOG) was a highly classified, multi-service United States Special Forces unit which conducted covert unconventional warfare operations prior to and during the Vietnam War. Established on 24 January 1964, the unit conducted strategic reconnaissance missions in Republic of Vietnam (South Vietnam), the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (North Vietnam), Laos, and Cambodia; carried out the capture of enemy prisoners, rescued downed pilots, and conducted rescue operations to retrieve allied prisoners of war throughout Southeast Asia; and conducted clandestine agent team activities and psychological operations.

The unit participated in most of the significant campaigns of the Vietnam War, including the Tonkin Gulf Incident which precipitated American involvement, Operation Steel Tiger, Operation Tiger Hound, the Tet Offensive, Operation Commando Hunt, the Cambodian Campaign, Operation Lam Son 719, and the Easter Offensive. The unit was formally disbanded and replaced by the Strategic Technical Directorate Assistance Team 158 on 1 May 1972.
