South Vietnamese forces launch a new offensive into Cambodia, advancing across a 100-mile-wide front in southeastern Cambodia. The new offensive was aimed at cleaning out border sanctuaries and blocking North Vietnamese forces from moving through Cambodia into South Vietnam. The 6,000-man South Vietnamese task force pulled out on November 11 after failing to find new Communist troop sanctuaries. Forty-one enemy soldiers were reportedly killed in the operation.

This was just one of several attempts to find and destroy COSVN during that time period. Our troops went in looking for it too.

Thanks SP5 Mark Kuzinski for reminding us that South Vietnamese forces launched a new offensive into Cambodia in November 1970, advancing across a 100-mile-wide front in southeastern Cambodia. It was amazing that a 6,000 man force would advance across 100-mile wide front. Either they had pin-point intelligence or they were on a fools errand.
