Stingray

Brian Norton

The controversial Stingray Patrol emerged as one of the most influential strategies of the Vietnam War. Force Recon Marines in small teams were inserted by chopper deep in enemy territory. Alone, outnumbered, and surrounded on all sides by Viet Cong and NVA, those elite warriors inflicted death and devastation without ever directly engaging the enemy.The key to Stingray’s stunning success lay in the team’s ability to rapidly summon artillery and air strikes, hammering the enemy in his own backyard – without warning and with chilling accuracy. Force Recon Marine and team leader Bruce Norton led many Stingray missions into Vietnam’s jungle hell. Now through interviews, eyewitness accounts, declassified documents, and contemporary reports, Norton recreates the full story of Stingray’s stormy genesis and spectacular success.
