The Son Tay raid was Army Special Forces for the ground component.
They used the GAU-5A instead of the XM177E2. The only difference between the two is the forward assist, but the XM177E2 was the Army gun and the GAU-5A was the Air Force gun...
I'll bet budgets were involved somehow.
Anyone got WeaponsMan's email? I'll bet he knows!
