In 1968, a select group was taken from the 173rd Airborne Brigade. They formed elite teams of 8 to 10 men, whose task was to search out the elusive enemy. Members of the 74th Detachment became known as the Cochise Raiders. Near An Lao Valley, these teams began the dangerous task of tracking down the hidden NVA troops of the famous 3rd "Yellow Star" division.
