Ph Kampong Trach In 1968, the area around Ph Kampong Trach in Cambodia, close to the Vietnam border, was an important and contentious region during the Vietnam War. This period saw heightened military activity and significant strategic implications due to the proximity to key areas and the complex geopolitical dynamics of the conflict. Ph Kampong Trach, situated in what was then known as Srok Romeas Hek Province, was part of a broader landscape that included Phuoc Ninh Province, Svay Rieng Province, and Tay Ninh Province. This region was vital for several reasons, including its proximity to the Ho Chi Minh Trail, a critical supply route for North Vietnamese forces. The Ho Chi Minh Trail, running through Laos and Cambodia, was a lifeline for the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese Army, facilitating the movement of troops and supplies. Highway 13, which ran through Tay Ninh Province, was another significant route that connected key locations and was frequently targeted due to its strategic importance. The area was also known for the dense Rung Cam So jungle, which provided cover and concealment for various military operations and insurgent activities. U.S. Special Forces, often engaged in clandestine and black operations, played a crucial role in the region. Their missions frequently involved conducting cross-border operations into Cambodia to target Viet Cong and North Vietnamese units. These operations were part of a broader effort to disrupt enemy supply lines and strongholds, though they often involved illegal incursions into Cambodian territory, violating the country's neutrality and sovereignty. The Mike Force, a special operations unit composed of U.S. Special Forces and allied troops, including local Montagnard fighters, was active in this area. Their operations were aimed at countering Viet Cong and North Vietnamese forces and supporting allied Cambodian and South Vietnamese units. The Mike Force's involvement in black ops and clandestine missions added to the complexity of the conflict in this region. The Viet Cong were active in the area, often using the border regions as bases and supply routes. Their presence, combined with the support of the Khmer Rouge, who were aligned with the Viet Cong, further complicated the situation. The Khmer Rouge, despite their separate ultimate goals of overthrowing the Cambodian government, often collaborated with Viet Cong forces against common enemies, which included U.S. and South Vietnamese troops. Battles in this region were characterized by frequent incursions and engagements. U.S. and allied forces carried out operations against Viet Cong and Khmer Rouge units, while the Viet Cong and Khmer Rouge conducted their own attacks and retaliatory strikes. The cross-border operations were often controversial due to their legality and the resulting international tensions, as well as the complex interplay of local and national politics. Overall, the area around Ph Kampong Trach and the broader provinces of Srok Romeas Hek, Phuoc Ninh, Svay Rieng, and Tay Ninh was a focal point of intense and often covert military activity. The interactions between U.S. Special Forces, Viet Cong, Khmer Rouge, and local forces created a complex and volatile environment during this period of the Vietnam War.
