It is a pioneer attempt at listing "caches" of reference sources which are considered to bc of significance to serious researchers and historians. It is hoped that this listing will lead to finding other "caches." If so, this annex will be updated and redistributed during the year. Contributions and suggestions are encouraged. (U) Most of the printed documents are widely circulated and it is considered unnecessary to reproduce the voluminous distribution lists. Figure H-i provides a listing of the documents and shows key reference centers which are on the distribution lists. Air Operations (U) Air operations in SEA are well documented in written reports and in data from automated sources. CHECO Reports (U) The largest contributor of written reports is Contemporary Historical Examination of Current Operations (CHECO), a division of the Directorate of Tactical Analysis of the 7th Air Force (7AFI. The CHECO reports are written in the field, staffed by 7AF Headquarters, and published by the Pacific Air Forces (PACAF). (U) CHECO is the oldest continuing USAF function in SEA and dates back to 1962. The basic approach to most studies is to document how a'a operation was conceived, how it is executed, and whether oi- not it succeeds. After the draft report is written, all supporting documents are microfilmed and kept as a package. By the end of 1970, CHECO had over 1 1/2 million pages of documents concerning operations in SEA. (UJ) Although the reports focus un close air support and interdiction, there are reports on numerous rubjects. Reports are distributed to every wing and air division in the USAF, all service headquarters, service schools, all unified commands, and to the Secretary of Defense. ( ) (U) Following is a listing of CHECO Reports.
