Summary of John Stryker Meyer's Across The Fence

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

Book Preview:

#1 We were triple volunteers: we had volunteered and graduated from the Army’s parachute jump school in Georgia, made it through the Qualification Course at the Special Forces Training Group in North Carolina, and after attending the 5th Special Forces Group (Airborne) in-country training program, we had volunteered to serve in MACV-SOG’s Command and Control.

#2 The Green Berets and their indigenous troops would build camps along the border to monitor and interdict the NVA units, while smaller, spike teams went across the border to gather information on the NVA forces.

#3 The NVA, the enemy, would carry the new AK-47, which held 36 rounds. They would use this weapon to kill Special Forces soldiers. The NVA had overrun the original FOB 1 in Kham Duc in the previous 30 months, and they had hammered the A Camp at Bu Dop, which had an air strip.

#4 The rules of engagement for CC missions across the fence were that there would be no support from conventional Army and Marine Corps units. Only CC assets would be allowed to cross the border.
