Operation Shoestring

Operation Shoestring was a U.S. military initiative during the Vietnam War, launched in the late 1960s. Its primary goal was to develop low-cost, innovative solutions for military operations, particularly in logistics and support. The operation focused on making efficient use of available resources and technology to enhance combat effectiveness while minimizing expenses. This approach aimed to improve the capabilities of troops in the field without the need for substantial additional funding or resources, ensuring that military operations could continue effectively even under budget constraints.
