Our only real Joint effort in Vietnam was 9 sqn RAAF Hueys supporting the Army. Given the Army effort was about the largest we could sustain how could the Australian forces have more joint efforts rather than slotting into higher US formations and doing US things?
My first thought is the 8 Canberras of 2 sqn which flew 8 missions per day every day they were at war. Could these missions have been used by the Army battalions in Phoc Tuy, by the SAS to provide strikes for their recon and maybe by the AATTV if they needed it rather than being swallowed by the USAF TFW they were part of? Perhaps the RAAF/Army could form up a sall FAC unit to keep these Canberras busy in Phoc Tuy under the command of the Task Force.
