Publishers Description: The term Pogo was a label given to every soldier in Vietnam whose role it was to support the troops involved in combat duties, supposedly a safe vocation. Examples would be Orderly Room, Q-Store, Cooks, Ordnance, Medical and Dental Staff, et cetera. Most Pogos completed their duties supporting the combatant serviceman with distinction. But a result of that role was that they carried, and most still carry guilt for mates lost or wounded, those that were doing it tougher, outside the wire. These were mates that they could not physically stand beside and support. Their administrative role is often underestimated.
