"The original members of the
teams launched were from 77th SFG
and the project was called Operation
Hotfoot. In late 1959 or early 1960 the name
was changed to Operation Whitestar. When the
original teams returned to
Fort Bragg in Feb 1960, the 77th
SFG had been re-designated as the 7th
SFG and the Red Flash created. All US SF
personnel KIA in Laos between 1959 and 1962
were 7th SFG personnel."
