Tactical Area of Operation: from Hawaii to Pleiku Province

This was the first major U.S. Air Force airlift operation of the Vietnam War. It transported men and supplies from Hawaii to Pleiku in the middle of an already heavy transport schedule. C-141s and C-133s were used to transport the cargo. In the first phase of the operation, the planes transported the men and equipment of the 25th Infantry's advance deployment team to Pleiku. The second phase involved transporting the rest of the 3d brigade of the 25th Infantry Division. This operation tested the new C-141 and reasserted the usefulness of the C-133. The Air Force managed to place military power in previously inaccessible areas.

Operation
Dates: 5/4/1970 - 5/25/1970
Combat Tactical Zone: adjacent III and IV
Tactical Area of Operation: Fishhook and Parrot's Beak areas in Cambodia (Ratanakiri province)

The U.S. 4th Infantry Division did not particpate in this operation for long because it had recently been relocated to the area and had no forward installations and limited logistical support. When the 3d Battalion, 506th Infantry attempted to land , they encountered heavy fire and the insertions were aborted. The next day, the 3/506th and 1st Battalion, 14th Infantry were under heavy fire on the ground. The 2d Battalion, 8th Infantry joined them on the 6th of May. Since the battalions were taking heavy casualties, the U.S. commander decided to turn the operation over to the ARVN. The U.S. withdrew and continued to support the ARVN 22d and 23d Divisions, 2d Ranger Group, and 2d Armored Brigade by air and artillery from inside south Vietnam. Later, captured documents revealed that the PAVN forces had been ordered to avoid direct contact.

Bolo
Operation
Dates: 1/2/1967 - 1/2/1967
Combat Tactical Zone: North Vietnam
Tactical Area of Operation: Hanoi Area

Before April 1967, Washington would not allow the Air Force to bomb DRV airfields and destroy the enemy's aircraft while it was grounded. Operation BOLO became a plan to lure the MiG-21s into the air where they could be defeated. F-4s imitated the formations of slower F-105s to convince the DRV that the USAF planes were on a normal strike mission. The MiG-21s that were sent up found the quicker F-4s ready to fight. Originally the mission included 14 flights of USAF fighters: 28 Phantoms from the 8th TFW and 28 from the 366th TFW. Due to weather, the 366th was not able to reach the area. Only three flights actually fought. The dogfight lasted 15 minutes, and the DRV lost seven MiG-21s. The USAF aircraft returned to base safely. This was the largest single aerial dogfight of the Vietnam War.
