Viet Cong And North Vietnam
How did the U.S. adversaries – the National Liberation Front (Viet Cong) and North Vietnam – seek to counter the U.S. strategy?
United States adversaries needed a plan to defeat the United States and they had numerous ways in accomplishing their goals. First, the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese studied their enemy as closely as possible and develop tactics to disrupt U.S. missions in the area. When the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese had numbers in their favor, they would conduct raids, ambushes and emplace minefields to kill any U.S. service member within the area to slow down any missions the U.S. tried to conduct. “The North Vietnamese and NLF attempted to keep the Americans off balance, thereby disrupting Search-and-Destroy operations.”
