GRP 144-Wherever you go, go with all your heart: A MACV-SOG Team Leader at war
Co-hosting for this podcast is retired Chief Warrant Officer and 20 year Navy SEAL veteran Ron Mahrs. Our guest is Dr. Henry Thompson. Thompson served for 21 years in the United States Army in various leadership roles. He began his career as a Green Beret joining MACV-SOG running recon operations during the Vietnam war.
Dr. Thompson became the 1-0 or team leader of Recon Team Michigan taking over the team from a good friend of mine named Mike Stahl who was wounded on an operation. The casualty rate for SOG was over 100 percent. They are the precursor to today’s Tier 1 units. This episode is a rare treat as you get a long time Tier 1 SEAL to sit down with an experienced SOG Team leader and myself. Enjoy.
