The HORRORS of LRRP Teams In Vietnam

The HORRORS of LRRP Teams In Vietnam Nine men against ten thousand. On October 5, 1968, Spike Team Alabama's helicopter hadn't even touched the ground when AK-47 fire erupted from the tree line. What they'd stumbled into was an entire North Vietnamese Army division. For twelve hours, nine Americans fought for survival against impossible odds. This is the story of the LRRPs—the Long Range Reconnaissance Patrols—who volunteered for the most dangerous job in Vietnam. They operated in teams of five or six, miles from any help, deep inside enemy territory. One in three teams was compromised badly enough to need emergency extraction. Some were never rescued at all. In this documentary, we cover: The catastrophic failure of Project Leaping Lena that started it all Recondo School—the training program nicknamed "You Bet Your Life" How LRRP teams operated in complete silence behind enemy lines The missions that went wrong and the men who never came home Four Medal of Honor recipients who gave everything for their teammates The legacy that became today's 75th Ranger Regiment 23,000 patrols. A kill ratio as high as 400 to 1. And fewer than 5,000 Americans who ever wore the LRRP patch. — TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 - Cold Open: 9 vs. 10,000 1:15 - The Birth of the Lurps 3:25 - Recondo School 5:50 - How LRRPs Operated 8:30 - When Everything Went Wrong 11:20 - Medal of Honor Recipients 14:05 - The Legacy — Sources & Further Reading: Full source list with over 50 primary sources available in the pinned comment.
