Project CHECO Southeast Asia Report. USAF Search and Rescue in Southeast Asia, 1 July 1969 - 31 December 1970
Abstract
This report represents the fifth study by the Southeast Asia CHECO office of Search and Rescue operations, and the fourth of a chronological series beginning with the early efforts to reestablish a combat SAR capability in 1961. In consideration of the current United States foreign policy towards disengagement in the SEA conflict, it was felt that this may be the last report of this series. In view of this an effort was expended to (1) include those aspects considered important to a complete understanding of the problems as well as the accomplishments of SAR that were not previously covered and (2) present a summary of the significant developments and activities which have occurred to provide the reader with a single documentary reference of the highlights of the SEA SAR mission. While principal emphasis was placed on the July 1969 through December 1970 period, where it was felt that suitable background information was not otherwise available, such was included for the purpose of presenting a more understandable view of developments occurring during the principal eighteen-month period. By the same rationale, the particular section on Mission and Organization and other subject material such as Maintenance and Safety were not accorded less attention due to any consideration of their lesser importance, but because they were adequately covered previously, or were felt to be the subject matter of other reports.
