Description

The Stingray Patrol: A Revolutionary Concept in Vietnam War Strategy. In 1966, the US Marine Corps introduced a bold new approach to warfare, which would go on to influence military tactics for decades to come. The Stingray Patrol was a small team of seven to ten marines inserted deep into enemy territory by helicopter, tasked with gathering intelligence and conducting precision strikes against key targets. These elite teams operated in a unique environment, surrounded by North Vietnamese Army troops and Viet Cong guerrillas, yet managed to achieve significant successes without engaging in direct firefights. Their use of advanced technology, including laser pointers and satellite communications, allowed them to target enemy positions with devastating accuracy. This book tells the full story of the Stingray Patrols, drawing on interviews, eyewitness accounts, and declassified documents from a veteran who participated in many of these missions.
