My name is Doug Nunes, I am a Vietnam Veteran I served 6 years in the US Army, 3 active years. I Joined the Army in March of 1966, had basic Combat training at Fort Polk, LA, then assigned to Counterintelligence School, at Ft. Holibird, MD. Upon graduation I received orders for Vietnam. I was assigned to small Intelligence Team of 12 enlisted and 12 officers. We traveled to Vietnam on board the Troop Ship Darby, taking 28 days at sea to arrive in Cam Ranh Bay, VN. I received an In-County Briefing and issued new undercover indentification as a Rand Corp, civilian employee, doing a socialologic/economic survey of the Vietnam War on the Vietnamese economy. I was assigned to the small 1000-year-old town of Rach Gia, Kien Giang Province in 4 Corp, in the Mekong Delta on the Gulf of Siam. I lived on the economy in an apartment/office outpost. I was a Liason/Advisor to the Vietnamese National Police and Vietnamese CIA, know as MSS or An-Ninh Quan-Doi.
I conducted security evaluations of the Town and Vietnamese Military facilities, Police and Vietnamese Intelligence Agents. I had a full time Intelligence agent/interrupter, assigned to work with me. I was embedded with the Vietnamese. I went on police patrols and responsed to crime and combat situations ususally VC attacks on the town and military facilities. I helped interrogate VC captured prisonors, developed tactical information for US Military response. There were 34 American Advisors in the Province and no US Military Units, my work was with the Army of Vietnam (ARVN) personnel.
After 10 months, I was wounded by an explosive bobby trap which killed 10 and wounded two (me and one other US Army Advisor to ARVN). I was medivaced to Japan for treatment of two broken legs and a bullet in my back. I recovered after 6 months and returned to duty as an Agent in San Francisco. I attained the rank of SGT (E-5).
