Description: Vietnam war in-country machine embroidered subdued patch measures approximately 1.7" by 3.25", used condition. During Vietnam war, SFOD B-56 Project Sigma was formed in August 1966. Sigma was created for the purpose of providing reconnaissance in area's controlled by the VC. Sigma was to have had an ARVN Ranger battalion attached to it, but this idea was vetoed by SF and they supplied their own forces. Located at camp Ho Ngoc Tao near Tu Duc along highway 1 between Saigon and Long Binh, SFOD B-56 Project Sigma had 8 reconnaissance teams, 3 commando (reaction) companies and a 168-man Nung security company. The personnel for the commando companies, and reconnaissance teams were either ethnic Cambodians or Nung mercenaries. SFOD B-56 Project Sigma teams abducted POWs back from the enemy in the Fish Hook area of war zone C. An enemy telephone line was located, tapped, and conversations recorded. Other teams placed electronic surveillance devices, set mechanical ambushes, and a host of electronic devices to hinder and harass the enemy along infiltration routes into South Vietnam. SFOD B-56 Project Sigma's Road Runner Teams were transferred over to SFOD B-57 Project Gamma in 1967. SFOD B-56 Project Sigma also assisted and acted as forward reconnaissance elements in several Black Jack operations which were conducted in its area of operations. In November 1967 operational control of SFOD B-56 was given directly to MACV whereupon B-56 was placed under the control of the II Field Force. SFOD B-56 Project Sigma was relocated to Ban Me Thuot in 1969 and finally left Vietnam on the 2nd of May 1971. A valuable addition to your Vietnam war military memorabilia collection.
