       Operations -- Appendix: Supplementary Materials. 
520    In the Vietnam War and the Persian Gulf conflict, special 
       operations forces (SOF) conducted reconnaissance 
       operations to locate hidden targets when political and 
       other considerations prevented the deployment of 
       conventional ground units and air power alone was unable 
       to locate and eliminate elusive objectives. In Vietnam, 
       SOF teams crossed the border into Laos to search for truck
       parks, storage depots, and other assets along the Ho Chi 
       Minh Trail that were obscured by jungle canopy and 
       camouflage. In western Iraq, British and American SOF 
       patrolled vast areas searching for mobile Scud launchers. 
       In both cases, the nature of the terrain combined with 
       adversary countermeasures made it extremely difficult for 
       ground teams to achieve their objectives. There are a 
       number of implications for future operations. Although new
       technology, such as mini- and micro-unmanned aerial 
       vehicles, may make it easier to teams to reconnoiter wide 
       areas, using SOF in this fashion is unlikely to achieve 
       U.S. objectives. Concerns about casualties and prisoners 
       of war are likely to limit the use of SOF to the most 
       vital national interests. However, unattended ground 
       sensors could play an enhanced role in future operations. 
       Although most will be delivered by air, some will require 
       hand emplacement in difficult enemy terrain, a mission 
       well suited to SOF. SOF in a battle damage assessment role
       could help ensure that critical targets have been 
       destroyed. Finally, SOF might disable, destroy, or recover
       nuclear, biological, or chemical weapons.
