- Comment: The Green Berets made their first tentative move into the arena of Southeast Asian warfare with Project Hotfoot. Disguised as civilian technicians from the U.S. National Geodetic Survey, they began to train the Royal Lao Army in usage of small arms. They were the forerunner of many, many secret operations to come as the Laotian Civil War flickered into being.Georgejdorner (talk) 21:58, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
