Project CHECO Southeast Asia Report. Air War in the DMZ, September 1967 - June 1968

Abstract

Preceded by two CHECO reports, "Air War in the DMZ, September 1967-June 1969" spans the 1967 summer DMZ enemy offensive (the siege of Con Thien), the 1968 winter-spring offensive (Tet, the siege of Khe Sanh, and the battle of Dai Do), and the subsequent withdrawal of enemy forces from Quang Tri Province. The report examines the control and coordination relationships between Seventh Air Force and the Third Marine Amphibious Force, especially regarding the Forward Bomb Line and several intensified Seek, Locate, Annihilate, Monitor (SLAM) air campaigns. TALLY HO, enemy helicopters in the DMZ, and the Air Force and Marine versions of the antipersonnel sensor systems are also addressed.
