MACV-SOG Living History Group


  

Modern Forces Living History Group and it aims to faithfully portray the units of MACV-SOG 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 appreciate comments from SOG veterans and have recently been talking to SOG One-Zeros John S. Meyer, Lee Burkins, John Good (RT Texas & RT Arizona) and John C McGovern (RT Virginia) about how we can make what we do as correct as possible. Here is what John S. Meyer had to say.

We are a non-political organisation. Modern Forces Living History Group is multi period living history group covering post 1945 conflicts, periods we cover include;

Vietnam War: MACV-SOG RT Montana
Iraq/Afghanistan:
US and UK Special Forces Iraq/Afghanistan
