This book was released on 2016-12-15 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: U.S. Navy Intelligence Contribution Key to SE Asia War Effort from 1965-75 If you are intrigued by behind-the-scenes knowledge or secretive reconnaissance, this volume may interest you? It shares the story of intelligence gathering within Laos with patrol boats then supplemented by submarines, and high-altitude aircrafts also known as patrol plane missions. You will learn about the Navy’s Tactical Reconnaissance by using Light Photographic squadron crusaders that could capture the terrain of the North Vietnam course within Southeast Asia. The SR-71 “Blackbird” aerial intelligence fleet is introduced in this volume to capture the importance of photoreconnaissance as a military strategic tactic for naval intelligence since it can improve operational commands and coordination between units and forces. As the enemies advanced within South Vietnam, this intelligence also played a significant role to document Communist agents and deploy SEALs’ best efforts. Intelligence in the “Linebacker Campaign” is also introduced in this historic volume. The Linebacker campaign showed that the reconnaissance of photography and deep review and analysis provided future successes of the Navy-Marine amphibious operations and infiltration of campaigns.

A key component featured within this resource is the organization of the Trans-Pacific Logistics Operation. With Vice Admiral Lawson P. Ramage leadership at the helm, he maintained the flow of essential supplies to the fighting of forces as a method to improve the operations’ function and cost effectiveness. He authorized and administered container ships to include refrigerated cargo that greatly increased the availability of quality food. These logistics helped to improve and expand South Vietnam’s port facilities to enable the delivery of fully-loaded ships.

During this time frame, political scandals were underway around Nixon’s Watergate affair that involved Nixon’s direction of illegal activities and his efforts to cover up those crimes that led to Nixon’s resignation and Gerald Ford resuming title as President of the United States (POTUS). Now, the U.S. Navy was embarking on a large number of refugees and positioning itself towards the Philippines and Guam. The unexpected number of refugees that could pose a potential security concern worried the Navy and they made arrangements to offload many of them to both Guam and the Philippines. Medical attention was also provided to many of these refugees. You will also read about the recovery of the SS Mayaguez by the Henry B. Wilson guided missile destroyer that was able to intercept the Mayaguez ship as it entered into international waters. This final volume within the series, chronicles how, as the decades-long struggle in Southeast Asia came to a climax in the spring of 1975, the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps saved thousands of U.S. citizens and pro-American Vietnamese and Cambodians from the victorious Communist forces.

Book Synopsis Naval Air War: The Rolling Thunder Campaign by : Norman Polmar
Download or read book Naval Air War: The Rolling Thunder Campaign written by Norman Polmar and published by Government Printing Office. This book was released on 2016-01-05 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the sixth monograph in the series The U.S. Navy and the Vietnam War. It covers aircraft carrier activity during Operation Rolling Thunder in the war. Operation Rolling Thunder was one of the longest sustained aerial bombing campaigns in history. And it would be a failure. The U.S. Navy proved essential to the conduct of Rolling Thunder. Exploiting the inherent flexibility and mobility of naval forces, the Seventh Fleet operated with impunity for three years off the coast of North Vietnam. The success with which the Navy executed the later Operation Linebacker campaign against North Vietnam in 1972 revealed how much the service had learned from and exploited the Rolling Thunder experience of 1965–1968. The book includes several photographs with backgrounds of key aircraft used as part of Operation Rolliing Thunder during the Vietnam War.

Book Synopsis The Approaching Storm by : Edward J. Marolda
Download or read book The Approaching Storm written by Edward J. Marolda and published by Government Printing Office. This book was released on 2009 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America's participation in the Vietnam conflict dates to the waning days of World War II, when certain victory over Japan prompted the Allies and Asian peoples of many ideological persuasions to change the political landscape. France, Great Britain, the Netherlands, and other European countries planned to reestablish control over their colonies in China, India, and Southeast Asia. Anticolonial resistance movements, in many cases led by Communists, prepared for military and political action to seize control of Korea, China, and Indochina. This book focuses on events in the region between 1945 and 1965 and the growing U.S. concern over Communist inroads into the region. From the Chinese civil war to the French-Indochina war and the rise of Ho Chi Minh, this book describes U.S. response to the Communist movements in Asia and how the U.S. Navy's role evolved from an advisory one to actual combat after the Tonkin Gulf attack of August 1964.

Download or read book Losing Vietnam written by Ira A. Hunt and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2013-07-16 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An intelligence officer stationed in Southeast Asia offers a “detailed, insightful, documented, and authentic account” of US policy failure in the region (Lewis Sorley, author of Westmoreland). In the early 1970s, the United States began to withdraw combat forces from Southeast Asia. Though the American government promised to support the South Vietnamese and Cambodian forces in their continued fight against the Viet Cong, the funding was drastically reduced over time. The strain on America’s allies in the region was immense, as Major General Ira Hunt demonstrates in Losing Vietnam. As deputy commander of the United States Support Activities Group Headquarters (USAAG) in Nakhon Phanom, Thailand, Hunt received all Southeast Asia operational reports, reconnaissance information, and electronic intercepts, placing him at the forefront of military intelligence and analysis in the area. He also met frequently with senior military leaders of Cambodia and South Vietnam, contacts who shared their insights and gave him personal accounts of the ground wars raging in the region. In Losing Vietnam, Major Hunt details the catastrophic effects of reduced funding and of conducting "wars by budget." This detailed and fascinating work highlights how analytical studies provided to commanders and staff agencies improved decision making in military operations. By assessing allied capabilities and the strength of enemy operations, Hunt effectively demonstrates that America's lack of financial support and resolve doomed Cambodia and South Vietnam to defeat.

Book Synopsis On Yankee Station by : John B. Nichols
Download or read book On Yankee Station written by John B. Nichols and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2013-03-11 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining vivid personal narrative with historical and operational analyses, this book takes a candid look at U.S. naval airpower in the Vietnam War. Coauthors John Nichols, a fighter pilot in the war, and Barrett Tillman, an award-winning aviation historian, make full use of their extensive knowledge of the subject to detail the ways in which airpower was employed in the years prior to the fall of Saigon. Confronting the conventional belief that airpower failed in Vietnam, they show that when applied correctly, airpower was effective, but because it was often misunderstood and misapplied, the end results were catastrophic. Their book offers a compelling view of what it was like to fly from Yankee Station between 1964 and 1973 and important lessons for future conflicts. At the same time, it adds important facts to the permanent war record. Following an analysis of the state of carrier aviation in 1964 and a definition of the rules of engagement, it describes the tactics used in strike warfare, the airborne and surface threats, electronic countermeasures, and search and rescue. It also examines the influence of political decisions on the conduct of the war and the changing nature of the Communist opposition. Appendixes provide useful statistical data on carrier deployments, combat sorties, and aircraft losses.
