Project CHECO Southeast Asia Report. Interdiction at Ban Bak, 19 December 1970 to 5 January 1971

Abstract

On 19 December 1970, a truck park/storage area was discovered on the Ho Chi Minh trail in Laos that led to some of the most significant air strikes of the. war in Southeast Asia. From 19 December 1970 to 5 January 1971, air strikes caused the largest number of secondary explosions from a single target complex in the history of air interdiction on the Ho Chi Minh trail. The loss of equipment and supplies adversely affected North Vietnam efforts to resupply their military forces in Southern Laos, Cambodia, and the Republic of Vietnam.
