In October 1966, Projects Sigma and Omega were initiated, modeled after*
the initial Project Delta being conducted by the B-52 team of US 5th*
Special Forces Group (Airborne).  Teams B-50 and B-56 were assigned*
to these projects respectively and they were for all intents and purposes*
designed to be identical in structure, just different in location.*
*
Sigma and Omega, like Delta were tasked with various types of*
reconaissance work.  The Recon Element, comprised of 8 recon teams*
with both US and indigenous personel, were tasked with localized*
reconaissance surrounding the base area, and were operated in large*
level sweeps.*
