Nakhon Phanom Royal Thai Air Force Base (NKP)
Situated in the far northeast corner of Thailand right across the Mekong
River from Laos, NKP was the smallest, remotest, and most primitive of
the Thai airbases utilized by the US Air Force. Many of the operations
that were conducted at NKP were top-secret. NKP was the headquarters of
“Task Force Alpha”, the underground command center directing “Arc Light”
bombing of the Ho Chi Minh trail. The 56th Air Commando Wing employed a
variety of fixed wing aircraft and helicopters for interdiction, close
air support, psychological warfare, search and rescue, forward air
control, and clandestine insertion and extraction of special operations
personnel in Laos and North Vietnam. By George Knowles
