Operation Arc Light

U.S. military operation to provide air support in Southeast Asia from 1965 to 1973

During Operation Arc Light from 1965 to 1973, the United States Air Force deployed B-52 Stratofortresses from bases in the U.S. territory of Guam to provide battlefield air interdiction during the Vietnam War. This included strikes at enemy bases, supply routes, and behind the lines troop concentrations, as well as occasionally providing close air support directly to ground combat operations in Vietnam.
