Imagine being one of an eigth man team in the middle of the jungles in Vietnam where any person you might encounter might try to kill you. This is hostile territory, inhabited by an unknown number of enemy soldiers, so you could encounter 2 or 3 of them, or just as easily 60 or more. There is also the danger of man-eating tigers and poisonous snakes lurking in the jungle. Your mission is to find the enemy without them finding you. You are to report their position so that artillery batteries, bombers or helicopter gunships can destroy the enemy without risking the lives of infantrymen in a hazardous jungle assault. You must keep quiet or you will be heard. The brush is so thick it’s hard not snap twigs or crunch brush as you move. You find a trail; but you can’t walk on it because it may be booby-trapped with land mines. What sort of men are willing to undertake such a mission? These men are Reconnaissance Marines (Recon for short). In the conflict between the United States and Vietnam they played a vital role in locating and destroying the enemy. To understand why they were so special, you must know something of the Vietnam War and the environment in which it was fought.
