| Green, George Curtis Jr. Rank / Branch: E5 / US Army Special Forces Unit: C & C Detachment, MACV-SOG, 5th Special Forces Group Date of Birth: 13 May 1950 (Indianapolis, Indiana) Home City of Record: Attica, IN. Date of Loss: 04 December 1970 Country of Loss: Laos Loss Coordinates: 145418N 1072858E (YB671492) Status (in 1973): Killed / Body not recovered Category: 2 Aircraft / Vehicle / Ground: Ground Other personnel in Incident: (None Missing) REMARKS: SYNOPSIS: Sgt. George C. Green Jr. was a rifleman assigned to Special Operations Augmentation, Command & Control Detachment, MACV-SOG (Military Assistance Command, Vietnam Studies and Observations Group). MACV-SOG was a joint service high level command unconventional warfare task force engaged in highly classified operations throughout Southeast Asia. The 5th Special Forces channeled personal into MACV-SOG (although it was not a Special Forces Group) through Special Forces Operations Augmentation (SOA), which provided their "Cover" while under secret orders to MACV-SOG. These teams performed deep penetration missions of strategic reconnaissance and interdiction which were called, depending on the time frame, "Shinning Brass" or Prairie Fire" missions. Green's long range reconnaissance patrol (LRRP) was operating in Attopeu Province, Laos about 20 miles west of the South Vietnamese city of Dak Sut on December 4, 1970. At about 0920 hours that day, the enemy assaulted the team at a landing zone (LZ) with rifle fire and rocket propelled grenades. Green was hit three times and was instantly killed. Because of the intensity of the enemy attack and fire, the recon team had to leave Green's remains behind. |
