D - rSE INTLILLTGE NCE AGENCY REPORT RELATING TO CAMBODIAN OPERATIONS
Latest reports on the situation at Siam Reap now indicate that the
government troops have retaken the airfield and. that Khmer troops have
relieved the pressure on the towns of Siam Reap and Kompong Thom.
According?to recent COMTNT, messages passed between 9th VC Division
associates indicate that the Division has received replacements. The
receipt of which would be a logical step following enemy losses reported
during the engagements at Kompong Chom and in the Parrot's Beak which are
believed to have involved 9th Division elements. The replacements may
also presage increased attacks in the Kompong Cham area of Cambcdia
where the Division headquarters and its subordinates, the 271st and 272d
VC Regiments are loca?k:ed.
7th NVA Division was located northeast of mo , Cambodia.
the Headquarters of the
arear services element in the same area is moving a large
amount of rice, probably to relocate rice supplies deeper into Cambodia
to avoid capture. COMINT of 8 June placed the Division headquarters in
t h a t , eral. area.
*SIGINT continues to reflect problems with in the COSVN command. On
6 June message traf'fi,c passed from a subordinate commo-liaison unit of
COSVN to the commo-1' .ison section of the SIB indicated that combat and
support elements wer.. moving south. The message reflected confusion on
the part of the units due to a lack of direction from higher authorities.
The unit was particularly concerned over what to do with three American
prisoners and suggested that the prisoners be given to "R" (COSVN).
Major elements of COSVN are presently located in three areas north
of Mimot, Cambodia. Since 25 May, SIGINT has located seven major military
and political terminals serving COSVN in an area along the Chhlong River,
15 miles north of Mimot. The majority are military associated. Of the
four major political authorities, two (Hq, COSVN(PO003) and (P0876) have
been located along the Mekong River since 4 June. The remaining two have
not been located by COMINT since 20 and 21 May, when they were located in
the area north of Mimot.
Termin l.s serving two major intelligence echelons, Military intelli-
gence Bureau (MIB) and the Strategic Intelligence Bureau (SIB) are presently
located just east of the Mekong 30 miles north of the Cambodian/RVN border.

communications with higher and lower elements continue to be sporadic..
schedules with higher and lower authorities.. On the other hand, Hq, SVN
Senior Watch Authority, has not. met daily schedule . requirements and.
. 7 ,June 70, COSVN EIq (P0003) has maintained. an average. of. 50% of ? its normal
Several :terminals are accomplishing nominal gains in this respect.. Since .
It appears as if the major echelons of COSVN are again dispersing,
probably in an effort to find a way riich will enable them to stablize
communications with higher and lower echelons ? and thus provide more
effective command and control.
Regarding the status of LOCs in Cambodia, Routes 1; 4 and 5. are
open. Routes 1 and 4 require escort. Routes 2, 3, 6, 7, 13,.15, and 19
are closed due to a combination of bridge danAge/destruction and/or enemy
presence. Route 12 is closed fromKompong Thom to the border.of Laos.
The railroad line between Phnom Penh and Kompong?Som.is closed due to
destruction of at least three bridges and enemy presence; the line between
Phnom Penh and the Thai border is operating with armed guards. The Mekong
River is open south of Kompong Cham but requires armed escort vessels.
