Project CHECO Southeast Asia Report. USAF Quick Reaction Forces

Abstract

This report examines the evolution of the*alert role of F-4 Phantom fighter-bombers in Southeast Asia air-to-ground combat operations. Seventh Air Force implemented the quick reaction concept as a management tool to promote the effective allocation of air resources under circumstances of limited targets and variable weather conditions. Through the use of documentary evidence and interviews conducted with individuals involved in Seventh Air Force air operations, this study traces the employment of the quick reaction concept from its inception in 1970 through April 1973.
