Cambodia and Lao's were both officially neutral in the war. But the NVA were sending men and material down through those countries via their Ho Chi Minh trail. Lao's and Cambodia were NOT strong enough to take on the NVA, so they turned a blind eye to the situation. The US wanted the NVA usage of those road net works stopped however; so the US Air Force was allowed by Lao's and Cambodia to bomb those targets, which was not supposed to be known outside of those units involved with those particular missions.
In 1970 and 1971, it was officially declared that US ground forces would invade portions of the NVA staging areas in both Cambodia (we were after COSVN there) and Lao's (but US forces were suddenly ordered not to cross, only the South Viets went in). The Cambodian operation lasted about 60 days and was a fairly successful campaign. The Lao's operation was a bitter fight, that some historians consider to be an allied defeat.
