GVN Military Operations in Cambodia
1. As you know for many years now the communist aggressors of the NLF and Lao Dong have waged war against the peace loving peoples of South Vietnam. From sanctuaries in Cambodia where they keep large forces, weapons, ammunition, medicines, food and other essential supplies.
2. In response to a call for help from the Cambodian Government the GVN ordered ARVN to cross over to Cambodia and the Communist forces and their base areas.
3. The result of the GVN and allied military operations have been even greater than was expected up to 31 May 70.
7519 Communist soldiers have been killed
11641 Weapons of different types captured.
184 Vehicles destroyed.
Huge quantities of ammunition, medicines and other essential military supplies captured.
4. The ARVN has also saved many Vietnamese immigrants who are now safe and happy back in South Vietnam.

5. What will be the effect of these successful military operations:
a). The communist aggressors have lost many men and most important base areas. This will seriously reduce the potential for combat of both the VC and NVA.
b). By destroying sanctuaries in Cambodia, the GVN brought peace closer for the people of South Vietnam.
c). The lives of many Vietnamese immigrants living in Cambodia have been saved.
d). The ARVN have proved how powerful it is to the whole world. It has proved to the communists that they cannot resist such strength and fire power. 6. President Thieu said on Monday 11th May "We will continue to operate in Cambodia. Perhaps then the communists will learn they can not establish bases there again."
