Project CHECO Southeast Asia Report. The War in Vietnam 1966.

ADA486853

Publication Date	1967
Personal Author	Melyan, W. R.; Bonetti, L.
Page Count	230
Abstract	The War in Vietnam - 1966 is a sequel to The War in Vietnam - 1965. It summarizes and places in perspective, the Air Force mission in Southeast Asia (SEA). The strategy of airpower in this area of conflict, its offensive and defensive air and ground operations, and effectiveness of command and control are also discussed. Future publications of 'The War in Vietnam' will cover semiannual periods. The comprehensive program of the Air Force--the complexity of its varied roles in SEA--called for more detailed studies of air and ground operations. It is recommended, therefore, that other Contemporary Historical Evaluation of Combat Operations (CHECO) reports be read in conjunction with 'The War in Vietnam - 1966.' The 1966 chronology of 'Organization and Deployments,' published by the Seventh Air Force, provides a perspective of Air Force activities in SEA. The Thirteenth Air Force history of 'The U.S. Air Force Buildup in Thailand - 1966' and 'The USMACV Command History - 1966' are other valuable sources of information.
