analysis: The text appears to be a report on the situation in Kampuchea (now Cambodia) in 1985, specifically focusing on the military situation and the impact of the conflict on the country. The report highlights the shifting of the main battlefield from the western border to the inland region, the Tonle Sap region, which is the most populated and richest region with strategic supply lines. The report also mentions the attacks on chief towns of provinces by the regular units of the national resistance force. Given the focus on the military situation and the impact of the conflict on the country, it is likely that the report is related to the humanitarian and security concerns in the country.
