The U.S. intelligence officer also learned one more nugget of information: “I was told that there were enemy agents in the highest command levels of SOG in Saigon. Their cover was so deep, it was never exposed during the Vietnam War.”

This I had heard, that the counterpart teams being inserted into the North were disappearing sometimes to a man, compromised because an NVA mole had infiltrated SOG. I can't recall the source.

As noted above, there were some 15,000 Soviet personnel in Southeast Asia during the war, mostly advisors, sometimes combatants, many of them air defense specialists. There had to have been some from other Eastern Bloc countries and the PRC as well. And it would surprise me if some of them hadn't acted as combat advisors or participated in action.
