Operation Jungle

Operation Jungle was a military surgical campaign conducted by U.S. and South Vietnamese forces during the Vietnam War, primarily from 1961 to 1962. Its goal was to evacuate and treat civilians and suspected Viet Cong members in rural, often inaccessible areas, with a focus on saving lives and gathering intelligence. The operation involved specialized medical teams providing emergency care, often in challenging environments, to help reduce the impact of conflict on civilian populations and gather information crucial for military efforts.
