- Colonel Lê Quang Tung (13 June 1919 – 1 November 1963) was the commander of the Army of the Republic of Vietnam Special Forces under the command of Ngô Đình Nhu. Nhu was the brother of South Vietnam's president, Ngô Đình Diệm. A former servant of the Ngô family, Tung's military background was in security and counterespionage. During the 1950s, Tung was a high-ranking official in Nhu's Cần Lao, a secret political apparatus which maintained the Ngô family's grip on power, extorting money from wealthy businessmen. In 1960, Tung was promoted directly to the rank of colonel and became the commander of the special forces. His period at the helm of South Vietnam's elite troops was noted mostly for his work in repressing dissidents, rather than fighting the Viet Cong insurgents. His best-known attack was the raid on Xá Lợi pagoda on 21 August 1963, in which hundreds died or disappeared. Tung's main military programme was a scheme in which Army of the Republic of Vietnam personnel attempted to infiltrate North Vietnam in order to engage in intelligence gathering and sabotage. The program was ineffective; the vast majority of infiltrators were killed or captured. Tung was also reported to be planning an assassination attempt on Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr., the United States Ambassador to South Vietnam. Following the pagoda raids, the United States terminated funding to Tung's men because they were used as a political tool rather than against the communists. Along with Diệm and Nhu, Tung was assassinated during the November 1963 coup. Nhu and Tung had been preparing a fake coup and counter-coup in order to give a false demonstration of the regime's strength. However, the pair were unaware that General Tôn Thất Đính, who was planning the phony operation, was involved in the real coup plot. Đính tricked Tung into sending his men into the countryside, leaving the regime in Saigon without the protection of the special forces. This led to the easy overthrow of the regime. (en)
- Kolonel Lê Quang Tung (13 Juni 1919 – 1 November 1963) adalah panglima Pasukan Pertahanan Khusus Republik Vietnam di bawah komando Ngô Đình Nhu. Nhu adalah saudara dari presiden Vietnam Selatan, Ngô Đình Diệm. Sebagai mantan pelayan keluarga Ngô, Tung memiliki latar belakang militer dalam hal keamanan dan kontra-intelijen. Pada 1950-an, Tung adalah perwira pangkat tinggi dalam sebuah aparatus politik rahasia, Cần Lao. Organisasi ini dipimpin oleh Nhu dan berperan dalam mempertahankan kekuasaan keluarga Ngô dan memalak pengusaha kaya. Pada 1960, Tung dipromosikan langsung ke pangkat kolonel dan menjadi panglima pasukan khusus. Pada masa ia memimpin pasukan elit Vietnam Selatan, ia paling dikenal karena telah melakukan penindasan terhadap para pembangkang alih-alih melawan para pemberontak Viet Cong. Serangan terkenalnya adalah penyerbuan ke pagoda Xá Lợi pada 21 Agustus 1963, dimana ratusan orang tewas atau menghilang. Program militer utama Tung adalah upaya penyusupan personel ke Vietnam Utara dalam rangka kegiatan intelijen dan sabotase. Program tersebut tak berhasil. Kebanyakan penyusup dibunuh atau ditangkap. Tung juga dikabarkan berencana membunuh Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr., Duta Besar Amerika Serikat untuk Vietnam Selatan. Setelah penyerbuan pagoda, Amerika Serikat berhenti mendanai pasukan Tung karena mereka dipakai sebagai alat politik ketimbang melawan komunis. Bersama dengan Diệm dan Nhu, Tung dibunuh pada kudeta November 1963. Nhu dan Tung telah mempersiapkan kudeta dan kontra-kudeta bohongan untuk memberikan kesan bahwa rezim Nhu itu kuat. Namun, keduanya tak menyadari bahwa Jenderal Tôn Thất Đính, yang merencanakan operasi palsu tersebut, terlibat dalam rencana kudeta yang sebenarnya. Đính berhasil mengecoh Tung dan membuatnya mengirim pasukannya ke wilayah pedesaan, sehingga meninggalkan rezim Nhu di Saigon tanpa perlindungan pasukan khusus. Hal ini membuat rezim tersebut digulingkan dengan mudah. (in)
