Narrative Information: Recon teams ran in-country operations from June, 1966 to June 1967. At that time, eight recon teams were sent to Dak To to prepare for Daniel Boone operations. New recon teams for the B-50 in-country missions were trained in FTX CALKIN. In November of 1967, B-50 became OPCON to MACV and ran operations for SOG. B-50 personnel primarily launched out of Dak To, Duc Co and Duc Lap, while B-56 teams launched further south. In late 1968, B-50 and B-56 (Project SIGMA) were consolidated to form Command & Control South, with a headquarters in Ban Me Thuout.
