Napalm is like thick, sticky gasoline. Used to set stuff on fire. Can be used in flamethrowers.
Agent Orange is a defoliant. Spray it on trees and the leaves fall off. The US used it in Vietnam to prevent the enemy from hiding in the jungle.
AO was the mission of the USAF and they dropped that material via aircraft to destroy forests. Napalm could be either dropped, again, mostly by the USAF, but Naval/Marine aircraft also dropped the ordnance, and US Navy riverine boats such as their "Monitor" which was armed with a 40mm or 105mm cannon in a single turret had additional turrets for firing flame (a form of napalm).
Nape cleared forests quickly but temporarily; agent orange cleared them slowly but almost permanently.
Napalm is a mixture of a thickening gelling agent and petroleum or a similar fuel for use in an incendiary device. It consist on polystyrene (46 parts), gasoline (33 parts) and benzene (21 parts). Napalm was first developed in 1942 by Harvard researchers cooperating with the U.S. army and used in bombs and flame throwers by mixing a powdered aluminum soap of naphthalene with palpitate (hence napalm). No one is claiming credit for the development of napalm.
Because North Vietnamese and Viet Cong fighters used jungle foliage to their advantage to conceal positions, napalm and Agent Orange was used to clear vegetation. The napalm was used over suspected and known enemy positions, and Agent Orange was sprayed around U.S. positions to clear approaches around fighting positions of all foliage so perimeter posts could easily see any enemy approaching.
American soldiers (US Army) didn't use agent orange. American airmen (US Air Force) deployed it from their aircraft during Operation Ranch Hand. Mission: Destroy forests (vegetation) on the ground in RVN (Republic South Vietnam).
Napalm was used in the Vietnam war. Operation Rolling Thunder was backed up by the phosphorous and napalm bombs It caused a great deal suffering in Vietnam giving many innocent civilians dreadful burns. Also, during the Tet Offensive Napalm was used in Khe Sahn in Operation Niagra to try to stop the offensive of the NVA on the military compound.
To counter Vietnamese Communists' use of guerrilla warfare
Napalm was used by the US Army because the Vietcong( North Vietnam) used guerrilla tactics and there jungles were so think the us army had to find a way throw with out getting attack from surprise. The napalm is a jelly based atomic bomb that set the jungle on fire. napalm was not the only thing they used they also use agent orange witch was a pesticide that killed the plants.

The United States has never admitted to the use of agent orange in the Panama Canal Zone.
