Description: Vintage original Vietnam war machine embroidered patch, size is 3" by 2.2" - used condition. A great find for any military collectible enthusiast. RT TARANTULA was part of Command and Control North (CCN) which was formed by MACV-SOG in late 1967 as an expansion of its Da Nang Forward Operations Base (FOB) which included launch sites established as early as 1964 at Hue - Phu Bai, Khe Sanh and Kham Duc. CCN, the largest of the three MACV-SOG field commands (the other two were CCC and CCS), was commanded by a Lieutenant Colonel. It was assigned conduct of classified special unconventional warfare missions into Laos and North Vietnam. CCN was organized along the lines of CCC and was composed of Spike recon teams (RT), Hatchet forces and lettered SLAM companies. Missions into North Vietnam were initiated as early as February 1st, 1964 under Operation Plan 34A. Operations into Laos commenced in September 1965 as part of Operation SHINING BRASS, renamed PRAIRIE FIRE in 1968. By this time MACV-SOG had at its disposal two battalions of American-led Nung tribesmen as reaction forces capable of performing large combat missions. CCN often operated in conjunction with the CIA-trained Meo tribesmen of Gen. Vang Pao. In 1971 the Laotian operations were given the code name PHU DUNG, and in March of that year MACV-SOG created Task Force I Advisory Element (TF1AE) to replace its three field commands. This task force was located at Da Nang. For any unsatisfactory reason, item can be returned within 30 days for full refund of purchase price (less S&H fee).
