Laos Site 85 (LS-85 alphanumeric code, "Lima Site 85" with phonetic 1st letter for cover) was a clandestine Laos military installation of the Hmong "Secret Army", the Central Intelligence Agency, and the United States Air Force used for Vietnam War covert operations against targets in the neutral Laos.
