Oran History 80-5 (side 3)
Audio Item Number: 252AU0102
Continuation of Dresser interview [252au0101]. Ralph Dresser, former commander of Ranch Hand unit at Phu Cat Air Base discusses relations with the press, and the Air Force's desire for high-profile publicity leads to declassification of crop-destruction missions. This in turn leads to public criticism and environmental concerns regarding defoliation program in general. Dresser also talks about target-selection process, maintaining unit morale, the 'Master Magnet Ass' award and 'short-timer's syndrome.'

During 1968 the UC-123s of the 12th Special Operations Squadron (Ranch Hand) were modified to add two J-85 jet engines outbound of the reciprocating engines. This modification provided a much-needed safety factor for the shot at flying squadron in SEA. Up to Jan. 1, 1969 Ranch Hand planes had been hit more than 3500 times by enemy ground fire.

Mountainous target areas call for exacting flying from Ranch Hand crews. Enemy-udes roads and trails must be opened up to aerial reconnaissance to halt trrop infiltrations, supplies and to reduce ambushes. The herbicide is most effective when sprayed from a 50-100 foot altitude above the foliage and contour flying in formation in mountain areas with a slow somewhat cumbersome aircraft often resembles a roller coaster ride.
