Military Assistance Advisory Group (MAAG) is a designation for American military advisors sent to other countries to assist in the training of conventional armed forces and facilitate military aid. Although numerous MAAG's operated around the world throughout the 1940s-1970's, the most famous MAAG's were those active in Southeast Asia before and during the Vietnam War. Typically, the personnel of MAAG's were considered to be technical staff attached to, and enjoying the privileges of a US diplomatic mission in country. The units fighting this secret war included an air wing and Mong tribesmen led by the Green Beret.
