The Air Force in Vietnam: The Search for Military Alternatives, 1967

This study is the eleventh of a series of USAF historical reports dealing with the Vietnam war, prepared by the Office of Air Force History. While focusing on the Chief of Staff and Air Staff roles, the author necessarily has highlighted the plans and policies of higher authorities--the White House, the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Chiefs of Staff--and the recommendations of the Military Assistance Command, Vietnam. Topics covered include plans for the military buildup in Southeast Asia, political considerations associated with new force deployments, and the continuing debate on war strategy and the conduct of the air campaign in the North. Because of the breadth and complexity of the subject, this study is considered only an initial overview of 1967 plans and policies. Future detailed historical studies of the role of the Air Force in Vietnam are planned.Previous monographs in this series have covered USAF plans and policies in South Vietnam since 1961, research and development for Southeast Asia, logistics and base construction in the war zone, and the air campaign against North Vietnam
