Sgt. John E. Nesbitt recounts a covert operation during his service in the Vietnam War. As part of an elite team that included Australian Special Forces, he was tasked with infiltrating a communications command post in an area north of Hai Phong.
  

Key Points: 

  1. Nesbitt’s operation was part of his service in the MAC-V RECONDO School from 1966-1968, and his role as an advisor in Detachment A-401 DON PHUC, Mekong Delta.
  2. The operation involved a water infiltration mission with Msg. Cowan of the Australian Special Forces to infiltrate a communication command post.
  3. The team moved stealthily, following a local guide (the asset) to the target area and then into the command post itself.
  4. The team executed those inside the post with silenced weapons, demonstrating their covert operating skills.
  5. Following the mission, the team made their exit and waited in hiding until extraction via helicopter at first light.
