Australian SAS soldiers achieved something in Vietnam that baffled American commanders: they earned complete trust from Montagnard tribal villages, creating an intelligence network that no technology could match.
While US forces struggled with limited indigenous cooperation, four-man Australian patrols received voluntary intelligence that led to devastating ambushes and 24:1 kill ratios.This is the story of how cultural respect and patience created the most effective intelligence operation of the Vietnam War.
