Phoenix Program: Private Mission Behind The Phoenix During Vietnam War
The Vietnam War was a long, costly and divisive conflict that pitted the communist government of North Vietnam against South Vietnam and its principal ally, the United States.
In 1967 during the Vietnam War, the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) created a program called Phoenix to help us win the war. It was intended to “neutralize” [kill, capture, or get rid of] all people helping the insurgency in South Vietnam. Phoenix had no forces of their own but they could get anything they needed from our military. If they wanted a village napalmed they just radioed it in. If they wanted a forest removed to kill a sniper pinning down a company, the air force would drop a 500-pound bomb on request.
