A few days after General Lucius D. Clay took command of the Seventh Air Force on 1 September 1970, he asked the question: 'What actions are being taken by Seventh Air Force Headquarters when an increased threat is estimated at 7AF bases' In reply the 7AF Director of Security Police (IGS) outlined the actions to be taken in the Republic of Vietnam (RVN) to protect U.S. Air Force installations from enemy attacks, and delineated the responsibilities required to protect those installations. Among the many U.S. Air Force installations in the RVN were several listed as critical to the success of the mission of the United States Air Force in Southeast Asia. The installations specified (not necessarily in order of priority) were as follows: Tan Son Nhut Airfield and the Headquarters 7th Air Force complex; Bien Hoa Air Base; Cam Ranh Air Base; Nha Trang Air Base; Da Nang Airfield; Binh Thuy Air Base; Pleiku Airport; LORAN (Long Range Aerial Navigation) Facility at Tan My; Det 9, 619th TCS Control and Reporting Post (CRP) at Ban Me Thuot; Det 11, 619th TCS CRP on Hon Tre Island (near Nha Trang); Phan Rang Air Base; Phu Cat Air Base; and 620th TCS Control and Reporting Center (CRC) at Monkey Mountain (Da Nang). U.S. Air Force security forces, Free World Military Assistance Forces (FWMAF), and Republic of South Vietnam Armed Forces (RVNAF) shared the responsibility to protect these installations. This report discusses the following topics: intelligence, base defense, manning the defense, foliage, minefields, lights and illumination, fencing and wire, bunkers, revetments, dogs, personnel, Tactical Security Support Equipment (TSSE), Project Safe Look, standoff weapons attack, standoff attack at Nha Trang, standoff attack at Phu Cat, sapper attack, sapper reconnaissance, sapper standoff attack. A chronology of significant attacks from January 1969 to July 1971 is included.
