This recently declassified study from June 1965 outlines the role
of Headquarters USAF in aiding the South Vietnamese effort to
defeat the communist-led Viet Cong. The author begins by discussing
general U.S. policy leading to increased military and economic
assistance to South Vietnam. He then describes the principal USAF
deployments and augmentations, Air Force efforts to obtain a larger
military planning role, some facets of plans and operations, the
Air Force-Army divergencies over the use and control of air power
in combat training and in testing, defoliation activities, and USAF
support for the Vietnamese Air Force. The study ends with an
account of events leading to the overthrow of the Diem government
in Saigon late in 1963.
