HO CHI MINH TRAIL LINKED TO
INSURGENT BASE AREAS IN CAMBODIA
Photography of
reveals a new road under con-
struction south of the tri-border
area. This road will connect the
southern reaches of the Ho Chi Minh
trail with the large Communist base
areas in the Tonle San region of
Cambodia (Figure 1). The 40-nm-
road generally parallels the South
Vietnam extension of Laos Route
110, which was constructed earlier
this year, crosses the border into
Cambodia base areas 701 and 702,
and terminates at the Tonle San
(river). Completion of this new
road will connect the motorable
logistics route from North Vietnam
with the suspected insurgent road
and waterborne network in Cambodia
and permit a flow of personnel and
material in both directions.
The road construction is near-
ing completion in spite of the
southwest monsoon rainy season
which has rendered all other roads
in the area unserviceable. This
indicates that a high degree of
importance has been attached to
the completion of the road prior
to the approaching dry season.
