The Ho Chi Minh trail was a logistical system that ran from the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (DRV) to the Republic of Vietnam through the neighboring countries of Laos and Cambodia. The system provided support, in the form of manpower and materiel, to the National Liberation Front (NLF, also known as the Viet Cong) and the People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN) during the Vietnam Conflict (1960-1975). The Trail was not a single route, but rather a complex maze of truck routes, paths for foot and bicycle traffic, and river transportation systems.
