First Force Recon Company by Bill Peters Book Summary

In 1st Force Recon you performed at a very high level of proficiency. Or you died. . . .

In 1969, First Lieutenant Bill Peters and the Force Recon Marines had one of the most difficult, dangerous assignments in Vietnam. From the DMZ to the Central Highlands, their job was to provide strategic and operational intelligence to insure the security of American units as the withdrawal of the troops progressed.

Making perilous helicopter inserts deep in the Que Son Mountains, where the constant chatter of AK-47 rifle fire left no doubt who was in charge, Peters and the other men of 1st Force Recon Company risked their lives every day in six-man teams, never knowing whether they would live to see the sunset. Peters's accounts of silently watching huge movements of heavily armed NVA regulars, prisoner snatches, sudden-death ambushes, and extracts from fiercely fought firefights vividly capture the realities of Recon Marine warfare, and offer a gritty tribute to the courage, heroism, and sacrifice of the U. S. Marines. . . .

First Force Recon company. Good

VIET NAM VETRAN. GOOD BOOK

Not bad. Let me preface this by saying anyone who’s been in combat is a hero to me. But the author went from being a stateside 2nd lieutenant right out of college to a Force Recon team member, but he never did the advanced training that IS Force Recon. Somehow he became a team leader with very little experience, which is odd in this line of work. I wouldn’t be surprised if author was hero in his own mind more than those of his men, he seemed to feel like he was ‘a highly trained killer’ after only a few missions. If you want to read about VERY highly trained spec opps teams on recon missions, look into MAC-SOG Special Forces teams. These teams generally had far more specialized & in depth training than the FR Marines, but worked in similar size teams with similar missions. These men were selected as the best of the Green Berets, and had far higher casualty rates than any other units in Vietnam, often exceeding 100%. Some of the survivors of these teams went on to form Delta Force-who are THE best trained warriors on the planet. John Plaster’s books on Mac-Sog are absolutely riveting!
