The following report has been prepared to illustrate the growth of the USAF night interdiction program in Southeast Asia from its inception in January 1965 through June 1966. The initial problems, the rules and restraints, the tactics and techniques that have evolved, and the increase in effectiveness and weight of effort are discussed. Through the gradual easing of restraints, the perfection of techniques and the introduction of new and improved weapon systems, the impact of the night interdiction role within the overall interdiction program for Southeast Asia is set forth.
