RECONDO (RECONnaissance commanDO), was a MACV (Military Assistance Command - Vietnam) Special Forces Jungle Warfare school established at Nha Trang, Republic of Vietnam in 1964 by order of General William Westermoreland. According to RECONDO-qualified Airborne Rangers: The RECONDO School consisted of Ranger-train- ed 5th Special Forces (SF) Group instructors who trained American soldiers and Marines as well as members of other Allied forces in Reconnaissance and Patrolling techniques. The course required a high level of physical fitness and concluded with an actual combat patrol prior to completion of the course to demonstrate the students' know- ledge and capabilities. The 20-day course had a failure rate of one third. The course graduated over 3,000 American and 333 Allied troops during the Vietnam War (1955-1975). RECONDO gradu- ates later went on to join Long Range Patrol (LRP/LRRP Ranger) teams with their respective units and served as the eyes and ears of their respective infantry division. The high standard of fitness paid off when LRP/LRRP Rangers led 5, 10 and 15-mile penetration raids deep into Communist- held territory and destroyed enemy supply dumps, marshaling points, set ambushes and brought back valuable intelligence on enemy-held locations.
