...some 5,500 G.I.s were withdrawn from operations in Cambodia, 2,000 ARVN (for Army of the Republic of Viet Nam) troops launched Operation Pacify West Two, the tenth thrust to date against Communist base areas. Elsewhere, the new war reached far beyond the sanctuaries. In the Gulf of Siam, U.S. and South Vietnamese patrol craft extended their coastal quarantine to a 70-mile stretch of the Cambodian coastline. At Neak Luong, South Vietnamese Marines and heliborne troops recaptured the vital Mekong River ferry crossing in a battle that left 139 Communists dead. Farther up the Mekong, North Vietnamese...
