NLF and PAVN battle tactics

VC and PAVN battle tactics comprised a flexible mix of guerrilla and conventional warfare battle tactics used by Viet Cong (VC) and the North Vietnamese People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN) to defeat their U.S. and South Vietnamese (GVN/ARVN) opponents during the Vietnam War. The VC was supposedly an umbrella of front groups to conduct the insurgency in South Vietnam affiliated with independent groups and sympathizers, but was in fact entirely controlled by the North Vietnamese communist party and the PAVN. The armed wing of the VC was regional and local guerrillas, and the People's Liberation Armed Forces (PLAF).
