About this episode

Ed Wolcoff shares firsthand stories from dangerous covert missions during the Vietnam War.

MACV-SOG veteran Ed Wolcoff joins us to share firsthand stories from some of the most dangerous covert missions of the Vietnam War, operating deep behind enemy lines in Laos and Cambodia. He breaks down what it was really like leading recon teams under constant threat, from brutal ambushes and chaotic extractions to the realities of high-casualty operations. This episode also digs into the hard lessons of SOG—what went wrong, what worked, and what modern warfare still gets wrong about special operations.
