Although not part of the Central Highlands campaign, the Phuoc Long battle (from the night of December 13, 1974 to January 6, 1975) was significant as a strategic reconnaissance battle, testing the strength of both sides as well as probing the international reaction, especially that of the United States, to open the next developments of the Spring General Offensive and Uprising in 1975, leading to the collapse of the Army of the Republic of Vietnam and the government of the Republic of Vietnam.

Central Highlands Campaign(from March 4 to April 3, 1975), codenamed Campaign 275, was the opening campaign of the 1975 Spring General Offensive and Uprising launched by the Liberation Army of South Vietnam. With the attack of the Liberation Army of South Vietnam on March 10, 1975 on Buon Ma Thuot, the southern wing of the II Corps, the Army of the Republic of Vietnam collapsed.

Along with strategic mistakes in the plans and methods of deploying and redeploying troops of the ARVN commanders headed by President Nguyen Van Thieu, this campaign created major breakthroughs on the battlefield, opening the way for the complete defeat and disintegration of the ARVN in South Vietnam in just 55 days in the spring of 1975, leading to the end of the Vietnam War (1954-1975) and the reunification of Vietnam after 21 years of division.

Hue - Da Nang Campaignstarting from March 5 to March 29, 1975, one day after the Tay Nguyen campaign began. The campaign included three smaller campaigns that overlapped in time: the 1975 Tri Thien Campaign, the Nam-Ngai Campaign, and the Da Nang Campaign.

Like in the Central Highlands, the intervention of President Nguyen Van Thieu with his new "defensive" strategy was also one of the reasons leading to the fall of Military Region I. The result of this campaign was that the I Corps of the Army of the Republic of Vietnam had to withdraw from Military Region I. The II Corps had to abandon the entire coastal area of ​​the Central Central region. The Liberation Army of South Vietnam had the opportunity to accelerate the disintegration of the Army of the Republic of Vietnam and the collapse of the Republic of Vietnam.

Ho Chi Minh Campaign, originally named the Saigon - Gia Dinh Liberation Campaign, was the final campaign of the South Vietnam Liberation Army in the 1975 Spring General Offensive and Uprising and also the final campaign of the Vietnam War.

This was also the military campaign with the shortest duration in the Vietnam War (from April 26 to April 30, 1975, in Saigon) and led to armed uprisings of the National Liberation Front of South Vietnam in the Mekong Delta on May 1 and 2. This campaign resulted in the complete end of the division of North and South Vietnam after 21 years, leading to the unification of society, political regime, population and territorial integrity of Vietnam on land, territorial waters, airspace and some islands.
