Description: These statistics were generated from the December 1998 version of [Southeast Asia] Combat Area Casualties Current File (CACCF) transferred to NARA from the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), Washington Headquarter Services, Directorate for Information Operations and Reports (DIOR). Includes records of U.S. military personnel who died as a result of the conflict in Southeast Asia, including those declared dead from a missing or captured status. DIOR continues to maintain the CACCF and transfers updated versions periodically to this website. The statistics presented here are 'frequency counts' or simple counts of the number of records in the file containing specific values. Some categories (age at death, for example) have been grouped for more meaningful presentation. Please note: the column headings for each statistic come from the documentation for the CACCF that DIOR/OSD transferred to NARA.
