[0315-2222] GHOSTS OF THE FENCE – Companion Dossier (PDF)

Description

Across the neutral borders of Laos and Cambodia, the United States fought a shadow war that officially never occurred. Operating under the cover title of the Studies and Observations Group (MACV-SOG), elite reconnaissance teams ventured deep along the Ho Chi Minh Trail equipped with sterile weaponry, untraceable gear, and strict orders to incinerate all cartographic evidence upon extraction. The Companion Dossier provides an unsparing, forensic audit of these high-risk operations, detailing the geopolitical calculations behind Operation Shining Brass, clandestine supply chains managed by foreign shell corporations, and the systematic bureaucratic erasure of fallen operators. Featuring meticulously reconstructed mission logs, tactical schematics, declassified National Security Action Memoranda, and recovered case officer memoirs, this investigative publication pieces together what official record purges attempted to obliterate. From the compromised extraction of Recon Team Idaho on the Bolovens Plateau to the sanitized letters delivered to Gold Star families, this intelligence dossier exposes the machinery of plausible denial and the men dispatched into the jungle without a flag.
