In February 1966, a small SEAL Team One detachment arrived in Vietnam to
conduct direct actions missions.
Operating from Nha Be, (Saigon) into the Rung Sat Special Zone, this detachment signaled the beginning of a SEAL presence that would eventually include 8 SEAL platoons in country on a continuing basis.
SEALs also served as advisors for Provincial
Reconnaissance Units and the Lein Doc Nguio Nhia, the Vietnamese SEALs.
The last SEAL platoon departed Vietnam on Dec 7, 1971.
The last SEAL advisor left in March 1973.
For your kind Consideration.
Cheesecloth backed Vietnam War patch - Filler - made for collecting, swapping, made during conflict and through to mid-late 1980's in Vietnam - Pieces were made in Vietnam.
More recent, similar pieces are felt backed (I do not sell felt back) - if you have any questions about anagrams used, translations, unit location etc please ask – I am always happy to answer.
