CIA used naturalist ruse to win hill tribes in Vietnam
In the early 1960s the CIA deployed young Special Forces troops posing as naturalists to win Montagnard tribesmen in Vietnam's central highlands. They trained local volunteers, then led thousands in clashes with Viet Cong and North Vietnamese forces. The Ban Me Thuot camp became a model for similar posts along South Vietnam's border, many later overrun in the 1972 offensive.
