Knowing the Enemy: Naval Intelligence in Southeast Asia

Naval Intelligence in Southeast Asia

By: Richard A. Mobley,Edward J. Marolda

U.S. Navy Intelligence Contribution Key to SE Asia War Effort from 1965-75 If you are intrigued by behind-the-scenes knowledge or secretive reconnaissance, this volume may interest you? It shares the story of intelligence gathering within Laos with patrol boats then supplemented by submarines, and high-altitude aircrafts also known as patrol plane missions. You will learn about the Navy’s Tactical Reconnaissance by using Light Photographic squadron crusaders that could capture the terrain of the North Vietnam course within Southeast Asia. The SR-71 “Blackbird” aerial intelligence fleet is introduced in this volume to capture the importance of photoreconnaissance as a military strategic tactic for naval intelligence since it can improve operational commands and coordination between units and forces. As the enemies advanced within South Vietnam, this intelligence also played a significant role to document Communist agents and deploy SEALs’ best efforts. Intelligence in the “Linebacker Campaign” is also introduced in this historic volume. The Linebacker campaign showed that the reconnaissance of photography and deep review and analysis provided future successes of the Navy-Marine amphibious operations and infiltration of campaigns.

Flash Point North Korea

The Pueblo and EC-121 Crisis

By: Richard A Mobley

During a dark period of U.S. military history in the late 1960s, North Korean forces captured an American naval vessel and shot down an unarmed reconnaissance aircraft, taking the lives of thirty-one U.S. sailors and Marines and striking a damaging blow to American honor. This look back to that earlier time of crisis provides serious food for thought as contemporary strategists again grapple with a North Korean regime that threatens regional security and U.S. national interests. The capture of USS Pueblo has been written about extensively but rarely in context with the shoot down fifteen months later of an EC-121 aircraft and never with so much relevant documentation. Richard Mobley, a veteran naval intelligence officer who served on the staff of U.S. forces in Korea during the late 1990s—confronting many of the same challenges faced in the 1960s and today—has uncovered a vast array of recently declassified documents that shed new light on these events and address lingering questions about U.S. reactions and its failure to retaliate. The formerly top secret answers to these and many other frequently asked questions are all covered in Mobley's groundbreaking investigation. His careful examination of the resource strains caused by concurrent U.S. involvement in Vietnam, the unexecuted retaliatory plans, and lessons learned confirms many criticisms long leveled at U.S. planners and decision-makers. It also challenges other criticisms by revealing new information and by placing these facts in the context of the time. The author couples the wisdom of hindsight with the revelation of new information for a timely new work on a subject of ongoing and vital importance.

Melvin Laird and the Foundation of the Post-Vietnam Military, 1969-1973

By: Richard A. Hunt

[E]xamines the former Congressman Melvin Laird's efforts to reconstitute the Department of Defense during the last years of the Vietnam war... Laird acted to mitigate the adverse effects of the Vietnam War on the department and to prepare the nation's armed forces for the future. Foremost was the transition from a conscripted military to an all-volunteer force, a fundamental policy shift that ended an unpopular and inequitable draft system."--from jacket.
