[Staff][Recon][Reaction][Operations][Back to C-5]

The following is a listing of all personnel in our database, assigned to the Reaction element of Detachment B-50 (Project Omega). If you were assigned to B-50 or you can correct any errors or can add any names or [ESPECIALLY HELPFUL] identify the assignments for the names at the last page of the list shown as "Assignment Unknown," or if you have any rosters, please let me know by e-mail at (sherman1@flash.net) or by phone at (713) 683-9076 or join the team discussion at the Green Beret Forum.

Narrative Information: Originally A-503 was tasked to provide a reaction element for B-50. When B-50 became OPCON to SOG, it took over three Mike Force Companies from A-503 and formed its own cadre. These companies were later consoldated with the Reaction element from B-56. The list forA-503 is more complete than the list below, as far as the original reaction element is concerned.
