These charts are interactive and run entirely in your browser — no R
session required. Drag the year slider (or press play) to watch patterns
change over time; hover for exact values, and click-drag to zoom. The
underlying figures come from the combined incident database
(get_comb_inc_dta()), pre-aggregated for use here.

Enemy incidents by action category — press play or drag the slider to see how the mix of harassment, terrorism, mining, and attacks shifted year to year.
Incidents per month — hover for monthly totals; click-drag to zoom into a period (e.g. the 1968 Tet Offensive).
