This isn't per say a Yard unit, it's a RT unit. SOG had teams called Recon Team ****, mainly named after states like RT Idaho, RT Nevada. They would usually consist of 2 DOD Special operators, a 1-1 and 1-0(Team leader) and a squad element of Montagnards. They carried no insignia and commonly carried foreign weapons to keep up anonymity.

Note the D-Rings near the shoulders. Referred to by Plaster that is the early iteration of the SPIE Rig. They used those to hook onto a line to exfil from a shitty LZ.

Many of them are captured here in this photo book, however I never did buy that book because it was already pretty expensive a decade ago when I first found out about it.

Plaster's two other SOG books are great, though, and I highly recommend them:

and

The book Sog: The Secret Wars of America's Commandos in Vietnam has some stores/information about these raids and is a good read.

That's bad ass man! Nice pic. Those guys were a rough bunch. [SOG] (http://www.amazon.com/Sog-Secret-Americas-Commandos-Vietnam/dp/045123118X/ref=pd_sim_b_1) is a great book if you're interested in knowing more about the unit.
