South Vietnamese Move Into Laos Extends War Reach
The operation caps a nine month escalation as South Vietnamese troops enter Laos to disrupt the North Vietnamese supply chain. US air support is limited by the Thieu regime, with Nixon promising April announcements on further withdrawals. Four US helicopters were shot down and more crashed during the border engagement as Cobra gunships attacked enemy positions near the Americans. Prince Souvanna Phouma protested the incursion while urging withdrawal of all foreign troops from Laotian territory. The action aims to prevent a North Vietnamese offensive while the war is handed over to South Vietnam.
