5 Australian Soldiers Hunted 300 Viet Cong For 48 Hours... The VC Never Knew

In February 1966, five Australian SAS soldiers did the impossible: they tracked a 300-man Viet Cong battalion for 48 hours through enemy territory—undetected, unsupported, and outnumbered 60 to 1. This is the story of how Australia's elite special forces revolutionized jungle warfare while American forces struggled with search and destroy operations. While the U.S. deployed massive battalion-sized operations that announced their presence, the Australian SAS perfected something far deadlier: patient, silent tracking that turned hunters into the hunted. Sergeant Bob Condon's five-man patrol demonstrated tactics so effective that Viet Cong documents warned soldiers about "the phantoms" who could track you for days without being seen.
