Vietcong Guerrilla Tactics

The Vietcong focused as small unit forces. They are based on intelligence, ambush, deception, sabotage, and espionage. They are mostly composed of strong attacks in small groups. These small groups used lots of camouflage. Also using many traps to take down and run away opposing forces. The tactics would work due to the fact the Vietcong had a good relationship with the civil population in the country. The relationship helped because they could hide out in towns and know the people are going to help them. Also, the terrain of Vietnam was used to and advantage. They had immense cover which helped them because the enemy forces would not suspect them in many places, and gave them the surprise of attack.

This is a a surprise attack method that the Vietcong would use to get the jump on American forces
