Military Operational Boundary - Boundary Alignment Indefinite
Very Rare - Map 6132 ii - June 1969 - For the Viet Cong this was one of the most important areas of operation throughout the entire field of conflict. This was the last stage of the Ho Chi Minh Trail before goods and operatives entered South Vietnam from North Vietnam and Laos through Cambodia.
For US Operatives it was one of the most dangerous areas of operations from the start through to the end of the war. Titled Kh Trapeang Phlong this map straddles the border between Cambodia and South Vietnam at Tay Ninh and Phuoc Ninh Provinces. Includes Highway 22 and shows the 'Military Operational Boundary' (Supposed area where US operations stopped before entry to Vietnam, regularly ignored by US Special Forces and CIA Operations and en masse by US Troops in the invasion of Cambodia in 1970, a year after the printing of this piece).
For US Operations, the only ground operations in this area were Black Ops, US Special Forces, US Ranger Commando and Mobile Strike Force, Mercenary Forces under US Special Forces. It was considered in large, a Free Fire Zone. It was in effect under the control of the Viet Cong and their Cambodian Allies, the Khmer Rouge.
This area was known as a 'Free Fire Zone' - Leaflets dropped over a long period of time advised locals to remove themselves from this area as everything inside this zone was considered enemy and was to be destroyed.
The French had previously sent numerous ground operations into this area never to be seen again. The South Vietnamese attempted infiltration into this area early in the war and met the same fate. This area effectively remained in the hands of the Viet Cong throughout the conflict.
The US Army staged an Incursion (Invasion) into Cambodia through this general area in 1970.
