MACV-SOG Living History Group and it aims to faithfully portray the units of MACV-SOG (Military Assistance & Command Vietnam Studies & Observation Group) in the period of 1964-1972 during the Vietnam conflict. The aim of the group is to understand the missions MACV-SOG undertook during the Vietnam War by exploring its tactics and equipment through living history displays, re-enactments and Mil-Sim airsoft events. Our main event of the year is War & Peace in the UK, this year will be our biggest yet. We also try and make it to events in Europe and the US when time and finances allow.

We aim to portray teams from MACV SOG CCC (Command & Control Central), CCS (Command & Control South) and CCN (Command & Control North)

We appreciate comments from SOG veterans and have recently been talking to SOG One-Zeros John S. Meyer (RT Idaho), Lee Burkins (RT Vermont), John Good (RT Texas & RT Arizona), John C McGovern (RT Virginia), Larry Crowder (Special Security Office), Bill Barclay (RT Krait), Nick Brokhausen (RT Habu) and Steve Perry (ST Idaho and ST New Jersey) about how we can make what we do as correct as possible. Here is what John S. Meyer, Bill Barclay and John C McGovern had to say.
