The Junk Force Advisors Were Formed In The 1960S. They Were A Paramilitary Organisation Known As The ‘Black Pajama Navy’ Or Simply Nicknamed The ‘Junkies’.
Junk Was A Sailing Vessel With Origins In China Referred To As ‘Chu Lucs’. An American Advisory Team (1 Lieutenant, 2 Chief Petty Officers) Among The Vietnamese Soldiers Would Board These Vessels And Obstruct The Transportation Of Goods From The North Vietnamese Army.
Worn By The Junk Force, The Pajamas Shared A Close Resemblance To Vietnamese Farmers Clothes At The Time. There Are Many Photographs In Which American Soldiers Are Seen Wearing The Black Pajamas In Combination With Their Jungle Fatigue Uniforms; Though Some Fleet Officers Disapproved Of Wearing Any South Vietnamese Navy Or Paramilitary Uniform, Including The Black Pajamas.
