CMAC

The Cambodian Military Assistance Command (CMAC) was established during the Cambodian Civil War (1970-1975) as a collaborative effort between the United States and the Khmer Republic to coordinate military aid, training, and operations against communist forces. CMAC operated in conjunction with the U.S. Military Assistance Command, Vietnam (MACV), focusing on strengthening the Royal Khmer Armed Forces (FANK) through logistical support, intelligence sharing, and operational planning. The unit played a key role in organizing and executing counterinsurgency campaigns, as well as managing U.S. military assistance programs within Cambodia. Despite its efforts, CMAC faced significant challenges due to limited resources and increasing enemy pressure, ultimately dissolving after the fall of Phnom Penh in April 1975.
