The South Viet Government had an Air Force, flying A-1 Skyraiders (see film: "Rescue Dawn"-to see the Skyraider attack airplane), F-5 Freedom Fighters (jets), helicopters, and 0-1 Bird Dog observation airplanes. The ARVN (Army Republic of South Vietnam) was the South Viet Army, and they had a Marine Corps, Rangers, artillery and armor (M-41 Walker Bulldog Light Tanks), and later a battalion of M48 Patton medium tanks. The South Viet Government drafted it's men; just like Australia and the US did, and had close to a million men under arms during the war.

They were South Vietnamese who supported the North Vietnamese during the Vietnam War?
There were three names by which South Vietnamese supporters of the North Vietnamese during the Vietnam War were known. One was Viet Cong.

It was first used by Ngo Dinh Diem [January 3, 1901-November 2, 1963], First President of the Republic of [South] Vietnam, to describe the opponents to his government and the supporters of the Democratic Republic of [North] Vietnam. President Diem held office from October 26, 1955, until the overthrow of his government and his assassination. But the South Vietnamese supporters didn't identify themselves as Viet Cong. Instead, they preferred recognition of their membership in, or support for, the pro-North guerrilla army and political group. For pro-Northerners joined, or supported, the People's Liberation Armed Forces aka PLAF. Or they joined, or supported, the National Front for the Liberation of Southern Vietnam aka National Liberation Front and NLF.
