USAF Plans and Policies: R&D For Southeast Asia, 1965-1967 is the most recent publication by the Office of Air Force History (AFCHO) dealing with the war in Vietnam.The author first considers--within the context of the U.S. Southeast Asian policy--the evolution of limited war R&D concepts prior to 1965 and then shows how these influenced USAF research and development programs in this area during 1965-1967. He examines the changes that the Air Force had to make in its R&D funding procedures, organization, and policies as it made the transition from peacetime to a war situation. He also reviews the development of conventional weapons and munitions as the Air Force shifted its emphasis from nuclear to limited war R&D.
