	Operation Tiger Hound - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The purpose of the operation was to interdict the flow of supplies on the Ho Chi Minh Trail (the Truong Son Strategic Supply Route to the North Vietnamese) from the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, through southeastern Laos, and into the northern provinces of South Vietnam.
		The geographic boundry of the operation was carved from the area of Laos already under bombardment under Operation Steel Tiger.
		Unlike Operation Barrell Roll and Steel Tiger, however, the bombing in the new area would be conducted by aircraft of the South Vietnamese Air Force and by US Air Force units based in South Vietnam (aircraft participating in Barrell Roll and Steel Tiger were generally based in Thailand).

		A hunt is an activity during which humans or animals chase some prey, such as wild or specially bred animals (traditionally targeted species are known as game), in order to catch or kill them, either for food, sale, or as a form of sport.
		It may also, at least since circa 1200, take the less bloodthirsty form of a search for a target that can, unlike a hunting prey, remain unheard, as in specific compounds such as scavenger hunt or treasure hunt.

		The B‑26 operations by Jungle Jim, Mill Pond and Farm Gate in 1961 and 1962 indicated that the Invader was still a potent aircraft, suitable for operations in COIN and other 'limited war' environments.
		The operations of the A‑26As in Southeast Asia were to remain classified for the whole of their stay at NKP.
		Whenever news of a successful operation was released to the public, the name of their base and unit would be withheld and the target area would be given as 'North Vietnam,' which was quite an irony considering that the crews were expressly forbidden to operate over North Vietnam.

		The unit's task entails training and advising foreign aviation units to support partisan operations in occupied territory with aerial insertion, extraction, and resupply from a third-country sanctuary.
		Each aircraft is well- suited for many special operations applications due to their load-carrying capability, ability to operate into short austere runways, and their normal, known signature.

		However, like other allied participation, such as during Operation Anaconda, the dispatching of the U.K. battlegroup does lend the war in Afghanistan a legitimacy that might otherwise be absent were the campaign to be undertaken solely by America.
		The British Commandos bring with them long experience in counter insurgency operations, ranging from the jungles of Malaya and Borneo in the 1950s to the streets and farmlands of Northern Ireland in more recent years.
		Commando and airborne troops are not cheap, however, something that will give Britain’s Ministry of Defense leverage in its request for an extra £1 billion in its annual budget.

		The combined effect of allied air, sea, and inshore patrols, amphibious operations in the coastal regions, ground force strength in the populated lowlands, and the availability of Laos and Cambodia as resupply bases apparently limited Communist attempts at seaborne infiltration during most of 1968 and 1969.
		Airborne and ocean sweeping operations continued in the Haiphong and northern areas until 17 April, when U.S. leaders temporarily withdrew the task force to persuade the North Vietnamese to adhere to the terms of the Paris agreement.
