Collectively they were called the "Red Cambodians" in English, much as communist China was known as Red China; however, this exonym was never used, their endonym was a Cambodian/French word, the "Khmer Rouge."
Though they incarnated under different party names, their endonym endured throughout. They continued to operate at an organisational level until the turn of the 21st Century; however, there are many individuals who would call themselves Khmer Rouge today.

Yes, US covert operations, as well as communists fighting the Cambodian government; but they were insurgents. Not regular troops from another country, like was happening in Vietnam. The NVA were regular soldiers from North Vietnam moving thru neutral countries such as Laos and Cambodia-the US was at war with them! Cambodia/Laos were being USED. Then...Laos/Cambodia had their own home-grown communists fighting against them; insurgents. The US was too busy fighting regular troops from Hanoi.
The United States did not want Communism to spread. Until then, Communism had been spreading by conquest and the United States did not want another country conquered by the Communists. The theory by the United States did not work. The Communists conquered South Vietnam. Then Communists conquered Cambodia. Cambodia would be the last country where the government was overthrown by a Communist revolution. The Communists killed the intelligentsia, which in other countries had been the main supporters of Communism. Without its traditional supporters, Communism can not spread.
