List of ethnic groups in Vietnam

	Special Forces Association Chapter 78
		The Nung are a Vietnamese minority group of ethnic Chinese descent, though there has been some debate among anthropologists as to their proper identification and classification.
		Some Nung groups were heavily influenced by the Vietnamese, though reports indicate their continued use of Chinese calligraphy and the continued influence of certain Chinese social, religious and agricultural practices.
		The Nungs had a reputation as fierce fighters, and their presence was reassuring to those who fought with them.

		The Nungs were bigger and stronger than their counterparts and took pride in their reputation as fighters.

		The NVA were performing a tactical technique referred to as "reconnaissance by fire." I nudged Can (Nung) and told him to pass the word for everybody to keep the bolts on their K’s forward so they wouldn't go off accidentally and not to fire until I did.
		Three of the Nungs had minor wounds but they grinned weakly up to me and wrapped first aid packets around whatever was bleeding.
		Through the Viet, who interpreted for the Nungs, he said that the NVA soldiers were laughing about a "Tiger Hunt" that would take place when two more companies joined them from the West.

		The U.S. Special Forces troops and the Nungs put up a gallant fight and held the inner perimeter until dawn, when the Viet Cong withdrew.
		Tall grass had been allowed to grow on otherwise good fields of fire right up to the outer perimeter, and the defenses of the inner perimeter were reasonably sound more by chance than by a deliberately constructed defensive feature.
		It was an old French installation, too small to contain the strike force; it was therefore used as the core of a larger camp and housed the Special Forces and the Nungs.

		My first tour was with the Mike Force, working with the Nung tribesmen, mostly out of Nha Trang, before they became the Mobil Strike Forces assigned to each of the four corps areas.
		So SF recruited a force from the Nung tribes - a group traditionally hostile to the Vietnamese - who were of ethnic Chinese ancestry and who were essentially mercenaries in the hire of SF.
		The regular Vietnamese army units were so often infiltrated by Viet Cong that they were quite unreliable in combat, but the Nungs were extremely loyal to SF.

		The basic plan was to airlift a company-sized force of Nung Mercenaries and their Speial Forces Advisors (Led by Captain Frank Jaks) to a LZ near the camp, where they would assemble and raid the camp, freeing the prisone.
		They were to be transported from Kotum to a forward base at Can To via Air Force C-130 and then airlifted to their LZ's in Army UH-1 Huey's and supported there by A-1 Skyraiders.
		It was not until the next day that the force could be extracted, and by that time 2 Americans had been killed, eleven Nungs had also been killed and 17 were missing in action.

		Therefore it would seem that the transition from duty with the CIDG to the classified and dangerous missions conducted by the SOG was a rite of passage.
		Another of the minority groups used by OPS-35 in its cross-border operations was the Nungs, mercenaries who were one of the most effective of all the ethnic-minority paramilitary forces.
		To provide the SOG and the United States some form of plausible denial (albeit weak) for personnel who might be captured, the SOG units frequently had maps printed with distorted international boundary lines.

		No, the Special Forces I am referring to are the men who worked at Khe Sahn, the Ashau Valley, Phu Bai, Kontum, Dak To, Lang Ve, and a thousand other places that were denied to the enemy because six to 12 SF soldiers lived there and dared "Charlie" to come and take it.
		In many cases Charlie tried, but the SF soldiers and their Montagnards, Cambodes and Chinese Nungs in the Mike Force denied him the victory.
		There were no 175 mm howitzers or eight-inch guns for artillery cover - just air cover when we could get it, and we got plenty of it in Vietnam.
