During the Vietnam War, the Army Security Agency (ASA) provided intelligence through signals intelligence (SIGINT), Human Intelligence (HUMINT), and electronic warfare operations. The ASA was responsible for intercepting enemy communications, monitoring radio transmissions, and decrypting coded messages, which helped inform military strategies and operations. Their work enabled the U.S. military to track North Vietnamese troop movements, identify targets for airstrikes, and detect enemy plans. Additionally, ASA personnel operated specialized equipment and conducted surveillance to protect U.S. forces from enemy communications and radar systems. Elements of the ASA worked with various Special Forces units.
