As in  World War II and the  Korea police  action,  the enemy in  Southeast "Asia sought the  protective  concealment  of  darkness  to move his  troops and supplies.  Although U.S. tactical  aircrews cut roads and destroyed moving vehicles  during  daylight  hours,  they were ineffective  at  night.  Jungle vegetation  and mountainous terrain amplified  their  difficulties  in  finding  and attacking  the  trucks, watercraft,  and troops  that  poured southward each night  through the maze of  roads,  footpaths,  and streams that  constituted  the  so-called Ho Chi Minh Trail  in  eastern Laos.
