SAUCOG vanished. There is only one official record that the unit ever existed. A Chronology of U.S. Military Roles in Southeast Asia (vol. II), published by the Histories and Museums Division of the Tactical Institute of Military Sciences, states:

“For a brief period U.S. Military Assistance Command Vietnam/Special Advisory Unit/Combined Operations Group (USAMACSAUCOG) assumed tactical responsibility for the planning and execution phases of various operations mounted by their Covert Action Team(s).

“Following execution of these missions, USAMACVSAUCOG withdrew all personnel from the TAOR(s) and tactical responsibilities were reassigned to the Vietnamese military in place."
