Whereas most wars of the past operated on the doctrine of taking "ground"; Vietnam conducted it's war on the "body count" principle. Kill more of them, than they can of us. The tactic used to fulfull this strategy was, "search and destroy." Find him, then kill him; then add up the score.

The main strategy of the NVA (their orders) was to "bleed us dry". Meaning, cause so many casualties, that the people back in the United States will protest and protest and protest. Then the communists may lose on the battlefield in South Vietnam, but will win in the United States. Their strategy was effective. They ended up overtaking South Vietnam and reuniting the country.
