History Channel interview about 5Th Group Special Forces MACV Recondo School. Author Larry Chambers vividly describes the guts and courage it took to pass the though volunteer-only training program during the Vietnam War. Here is an unforgettable account as Chambers relives the hair-raising graduation mission where his team captures an NVA officer. Recondo school, was the subject of a History Channel television educational 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”.
Chambers wrote about the school in his first book: Recondo - LRRP in the 101st Airborne.
