On February 8, 1962, the U.S. Department of Defense reported the creation of the Military Assistance Command in South Vietnam.
Three years later to the day, the U.S. Air Force performs its first retaliatory air strike in North Vietnam. A North American F-100 Super Sabre flew cover for attacking South Vietnamese fighter aircraft, suppressing ground fire in the target area.
