GUERRILLA OPS
AUGUST #RUCKINGCHALLENGE
This month, we honor the Special Forces (SF) soldiers who served in the Vietnam War and shaped the history of the Green Berets. We will also remember the work they did as part of Military Assistance Command,Vietnam-Studies and Observation Groups (MACVSOG) to stem the spread of Communism across Southeast Asia. All four of the challenge workouts are designed to be done with a partner because working as a cohesive unit, and supporting each other through challenging circumstances, has always been a cornerstone of the teams.
THE HAMMER WORKOUT
MACV-SOG had an extensive area of operation that included Thailand, Laos, North Vietnam, and Cambodia. The Command and Control Detachments were located in the North (CCN), Central (CCC), and the South (CCS). Each team in these detachments used different code names; the North used poisonous snakes like cobra and viper, the Central used state names, and the South used tool names like hammer and miter. All teams were self-sufficient, yet worked toward the same general goals.
