I I I UNCLA !Sfi.FIED ABSTAINER The evaluations in this document repre~ent the efforts of .gev~al working groups and critique panels of USAF officers who -were knowledgeable in the subjects addressed. Tney were based on reports, letters, messages, etc.) written during the cour~e of the war without benefit of a long .term per6p~ctive. The CaRONA HARVEST reports were prepared to acquaint present and future Air Force leaders with air power lessons learned during the Southeast Asia conflict. The CCRONA HARVEST project loo·a.s not undertaken to produce a historical report, but rather was designed to point out problems experienced, identify areas which deserved further study, and recommend future courses of action. Little effort was made to balance this material by pointing out the achievements of airpmJer during the conflict. ' ·'l"be docwnent i s the property of the U. S.
