Basically, two types of missions are conducted: defoliation of jungle foliage and destruction of crops in areas controlled by the Viet Cong (VC). Many factors have served to motivate these operations. Some of the more important considerations are the desire to eliminate enemy camps and secure areas (safe havens), to obtain better vertical visibility in heavily canopied jungle for the purposes of reconnaissance and interdiction, to minimize cover along transportation routes to prevent VC ambush, and to destroy trees and vegetation surrounding special forces bases and communication routes to aid in base security measures and to preclude sabotage of communication facilities. Crop destruction operations were undertaken with the hope of denying the Viet Cong valuable foodstuffs by destroying crops and food resources in the immediate area. This would force the enemy to move from place to place to obtain food and would not allow him time to perfect his camp defences or to develop long-range offensive programs. With these ideas in mind, the concept of using herbicides was proposed, tested, and put into operation in Southeast Asia.    \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEARLY OPERATIONAL HISTORY : Deployment and Testing - Early Defoliation Operations - Early Crop Destruction\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEXPANDED HERBICIDE OPERATIONS: Project Sherwood Forest - Increased Fighter Support - Operations in Laos - Operations in the RVN - 1966 - Project Pink Rose   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCURRENT CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS -Types of Equipment -Command and Control - Missions and Tactics - Characteristics and Availability of Herbicides\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRESULTS AND EFFECTS - The VC Propaganda - Crop Destruction Effectiveness - Result of Defoliation - Effects on VC Morale - Effects on Civilian Populace\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e101 pages – in english\n  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"www.skyshelf.eu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42934202106026,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/6901\/4698\/products\/original_3f799bb1-8e93-4e92-9e3e-30c3e7b3184b.jpg?v=1652263581"},{"product_id":"usaf-checo-report-1968-04-the-war-in-vietnam-january-june-1967","title":"USAF CHECO report 1968 04 - The War in Vietnam (January – June 1967)","description":"\u003cp\u003eUSAF CHECO Report   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe War in Vietnam (January – June 1967)\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy Lee Bonetti\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e29 April 1968\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUS Air Force – PACAF\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"The War in Vietnam\" provides an overall look at the Southeast Asian situation, as it relates to the role of the United States Air Force.

In August of that year, the South Vietnamese Air Force initiated herbicide operations with American help. But Diem's request launched a policy debate in the White House and the State and Defense Departments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt last, in November 1961, President Kennedy approved the use of herbicides, but only as a limited experiment requiring South Vietnamese participation and the mission-by-mission approval of the United States Embassy, the Military Assistance Command Vietnam, and South Vietnam's government. Operation Ranch Hand, the designation for the program, began in January 1962. Gradually limitations were relaxed and the spraying became more frequent, and covered larger areas. By the time it ended nine years later, some eighteen million gallons of chemicals had been sprayed on an estimated twenty percent of South Vietnam's -jungles, including thirty-six percent of its mangrove forests. The Air Force also carried out herbicide operations in Laos from December 1965 to\/September 1969 with the permission of the Laotian government.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is a model study of the process by which military policy was made in the Southeast Asia War. Major Buckingham relates the intense controversy, both within the government and among the public, over the military, political, and ecological effects of the program. He connects policy to the operations, showing how pressure from scientist5 and disagreements among government policy- makers and military leaders imposed limitations on the spraying program. He explores the technical difficulties in using herbicides: the right chemical agents had to be delivered in sufficient quantity it the optimal time of the growing season, only against certain crops and categories of vegetation, and only in areas where the destruction provided harm to the enemy and no danger to friendly or neutral populations. And-Major Buckingham pays tribute to the bravery of the Ranch Hand airmen who flew their planes 'low and s!ow' over territory often heavily defended by the enemy. Remarkably, Ranch Hand's UC-123 Providers took more than seven thousand hits from ground fire, but lost only a 1.w crews and aircraft. Indeed, the most celebrated of the planes, \"Patches,\" survived over six-hundred hits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e257 pages – in English\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9TdDkteVRMM\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZyyE5Fykd80\" title=\"YouTube video player\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"www.skyshelf.eu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42934226550954,"sku":"392DG1972EN","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/6901\/4698\/products\/original_634870b9-291c-4755-8910-ae0d9084bbf5.jpg?v=1652264179"},{"product_id":"celeski-joseph-special-air-warfare-and-the-secret-war-in-laos-air-commandos-1964-1975","title":"Celeski, Joseph - Special Air Warfare and the Secret War in Laos - Air Commandos 1964–1975","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecial Air Warfare and the Secret War in Laos - Air Commandos 1964–1975\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJoseph D.

In a totally covert manner.\u003cbr\u003eSoon, the USAF felt the need to deploy a full combat unit, capable of operating as a stand-alone fighting force in the counter-insurgency environment of a foreign country. Furthermore, the entire unit, not just the aircraft, had to be prepared to operate under 'plausible deniability' cover. Operation Jungle Jim was born. It helped build Laotian air power and its forward controllers.\u003cbr\u003eIn 1964, in total disregard of the cease-fire agreement, the Pathet Lao and the North Vietnamese Army (NVA) committed numerous violations. One of the responses chosen was to place additional US military advisors in the five regional commands of the Lao army to improve the combat readiness of the Lao forces. Project 404 was the designated name for a variety of personnel programmes to strengthen the military attaché offices in Vientiane and to provide support for the administration of the US Military Assistance Programme (MAP) and other advisory projects. Project 404 circumvented the prohibition on US military personnel serving directly in Laos by seconding service personnel as \"assistant attachés\" within the embassy staffing structure. The author also refers to Operation 404 Palace Dog. In order to improve the efficiency of the Laotian Air Force, Air Operations Centres (AOCs) were created when each Laotian T-28 squadron started to work at its operation site. The 56th Special Operations Wing - created in Thailand - was called upon to operate intensively in Laos, among other things to monitor the traffic on the Ho Chi Minh Trail. Its helicopters and light aircraft deployed a network of several hundred seismic sensors to monitor movements as part of Operation Igloo White and Operation Dump Truck. The intelligence obtained played an important role in the defence of Khe Sanh.\u003cbr\u003eThe author explains, however, that efforts to infiltrate South Vietnamese special forces and hill tribes into the Plain of Jars to monitor North Vietnamese activities were not successful.\u003cbr\u003eA highly detailed account of dozens of complex and covert operations.\u003cbr\u003e518 pages - in English\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QQ8GnDt_75Y\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"www.skyshelf.eu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42934226583722,"sku":"410DG2019EN","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/6901\/4698\/products\/original_7122ca56-b50b-4e4a-892c-1b17907ec431.jpg?v=1652264181"},{"product_id":"anthony-victor-tactics-and-techniques-of-night-air-operations-in-sea-1961-1970","title":"Anthony, Victor - Tactics and techniques of night air operations in SEA 1961-1970","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Air Force in South East Asia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTactics and techniques of night operations 1961-1970\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy Major Victor B.

During the course of his research, he interviewed over a dozen pilots and crewmen who flew night missions along the Ho Chi Minh Trail and in North Vietnam.

In 1972 the two Linebacker campaigns joined with other air operations to make a dramatic, although temporary, difference. While they unleashed powerful B-52 area bombers, the campaigns also demonstrated the efficacy of newly developed laser-guided precision bombs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing upon twenty years of research in classified records, Wayne Thompson integrates operational, political, and personal detail to present a full history of the Air Force role in the war against North Vietnam. He provides an unprecedented view of the motivations and actions of the people involved—from aircrews to generals to politicians—in every phase of the air campaigns. He outlines, for instance, the political reasons for President Johnson's reluctance to use B-52 bombers against major North Vietnamese targets. He also examines how the media influenced US policy and how US prisoners became the war's most celebrated heroes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe war in Southeast Asia ultimately pushed the Air Force toward adopting more flexible tactics and incorporating increasingly sophisticated weapons that would shape later conflicts.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"author-information\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-info-p\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"blue\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWayne Thompson is chief of analysis at the Air Force History Support Office.
