MS of the Viet Nam War,
wThe COMBAT
TRACKER TEAMS of the Viet Nam War,
were small, highly-trained units usually
consisting of
five
men and a Labrador Retriever. The purpose of
CTT was to: reestablish
contact with the "elusive enemy";
reconnaissance of an area for possible enemy
activities;
and
locate lost or missing friendly personnel.
The methods used in
completing the missions
were Visual and Canine Tactical Tracking. The
unit
was usually
supported by a platoon or larger force
and worked well ahead of them to maintain
noise discipline and the
element of surprise. |
