Recondo - LRRP in the 101st Airborne

Author Larry Chambers vividly describes the guts and courage it took to pass the though volunteer-only training program in Nha Tarng to be part of the 5th Special Forces Recondo School, the hair-raising graduation mission to scout out, locate, and out-guerilla the NVA. Here is an unforgettable account that follows Chambers and the Rangers every step of the way–from joining, going through Recondo, and finally leading his own team on white-knuckle missions through the jungle hell of Vietnam. Recondo, was the subject of a History Channel television special.

What most distinguished the Special Forces Recondo School from any other in the history of the American military was its final exam – a reconnaissance mission deep within enemy territory, miles from friendly ground troops, and with absolutely no support. It was a trial by fire, where students were sometimes wounded or killed. That’s how Recondo School got its reputation as the “deadliest school on earth”.
