摘要: From a number of Thai air bases, the USAF waged air campaigns against enemy targets, troops, and supply lines in North Vietnam, Laos, and South Vietnam. The security of these bases was an extremely important matter. On the night of 26 July 1968, the first attack was launched against one of these bases. While the assault was repelled and the resulting damage was not excessive, a number of inadequacies in base defense were clearly indicated. This CHECO report outlines the concepts of base security, which existed before the attack; describes the assault on Udorn Royal Thai Air Force Base (RTAFB); and explains how the defensive plans were implemented. It profiles changes and improvements effected in security arrangements subsequent to the attack. To better understand how planners grappled with the problems and evolved solutions, it is necessary to view base security against the background of a mounting threat, limited funding, and certain restrictive Thai/US agreements.
