The MAAG - The Military Assistance Advisory Group
The MAAG was established to manage all the military aid that was now flowing like a river into Taiwan. They were extremely active in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War years. The crew of the Tuopsse retreated horrifically given the same treatment as prisoners of war and every attempt made to get them to defect. It took about a year before the Soviets were able to enlist the French to negotiate a release of 29 of the crew members, including the captain.
