Men & Material came down a road network, known as the Ho Chi Minh Trail. Travel was by foot, horse, mule, bicycle, and trucks. By the late 60's & early 70's, mostly by trucks. One of the primary missions of the US Air Force GUNSHIPs, the AC-130 Spectres, was "Trucking Busting", which consisted of "hunting for trucks" coming down the Ho Chi Minh Trail. During B-52 Stratofortress bombing missions over Hanoi in 1972 (Linebacker & Linebacker II operations), the "Spectre" Gunship's concentrated on truck killing along the trail networks.
