DTIC ADC007778: Project CHECO Southeast Asia Report. The F-111 in Southeast Asia, September 1972-January 1973

The F-111 saw service twice in Southeast Asia. Its first, limited use in combat occurred in 1968, but the aircraft was withdrawn from SEA that same year. Yet, the F-111 possessed capabilities that were considered significant in the military and political situation which evolved following the massive North Vietnamese invasion of South Vietnam in the Spring of 1972. To capitalize upon these capabilities, the aircraft was reintroduced into the theater of operations. This report discusses the reintroduction of the F-111 into SEA, analyzes its operations and effectiveness, and examines its losses.
