The 11th ACR conducted extensive patrols, engaged in numerous firefights, and successfully disrupted enemy operations during this operation.Border Operations: The 11th ACR was also involved in border operations, particularly near the Cambodian border. These operations aimed to interdict enemy infiltration routes and prevent enemy forces from using sanctuaries across the border.
