The CHECO report (Contemporary Historical Evaluation of Combat Operations) detailing air operations during the siege of Khe Sanh. Operation NIAGARA was a concentrated air effort executed by U.S. forces in 1968 to disrupt a major offensive in northwestern I Corps near Khe Sanh. An extensive enemy build-up in the western DMZ area indicated that a major offensive was developing, with the objective of overrunning Khe Sanh and other friendly positions located astride Route 9, the most readily accessible infiltration route for North Vietnamese forces bypassing the DMZ into South Vietnam.
