Talk:Military Assistance Advisory Group

I have a document entitled
'''MAAG, FRG HISTORICAL REPORT DEPOT GROUP SOUTH 1960 ''' The first page begins "MAAG LIAISON TEAM LOGISTICS, Federal Republic of Germans, Depot Group South" Our article starts by saying that MAAG was a Third World program. I am not a military historian, but. . ........... Any ideas? Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 04:37, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

Only Third world countries ?
That isn't correct. A MAAG also operated in West Germany in the 1950s to help building the Bundeswehr. --Oenie (talk) 07:42, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

Only Third World Countries??
That whole sentence needs to be updated as MAAGs were also throughout Europe (UK, Belgium, Italy, etc). In fact, they still exist in what cuold hardly be called third world countries today. For example, in Korea, we still have JUSMAG-K, which stands for Joint US Military Affaris Group - Korea. While an argument could be made that current MILGRPs and organizations like JUSMAG-K are not really MAAGs anymore, they are the direct lineal descendant and simply have a more modern name, reflecting what a modern MAAG does. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.76.169.102 (talk) 11:57, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

MAAG Laos notes.
The first military advisors in Laos were the Project White Star U.S. Army training teams assigned to the predecessor of the MAAG, the Programs Evaluation Office. During its short existence from April 1961 to October 1962, MAAG supplied the advisors. When the MAAG was transferred to Bangkok to become DEPCHIEFJUSMAAGTHAI, the Requirements Office assumed supply of advisors. This developed into classified projects supplying both USA and U.S. Air Force trainers, such as Palace Dog and Project 404.

If in doubt, follow the above links for details.

No mention of Ike
Why does it appear all mention of Eisenhower has been scrubbed from this article, when he oversaw 8 years of MAAG Vietnam? Darr247 (talk) 16:23, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
