US Army tank, infantry, and cavalry units in the field (1969-1972) always transmitted over the radio with; Example:"Have 5 Kilo-India-Alpha November-Victor-Alpha and 2 Uniform Sierra Whiskey-India-Alpha, how copy over?" That would be in the II and I Corps AOs. Down south in the Delta (3 & 4 Corps) it might be; (Example): "Have 5 Kilo-India-Alpha Victor Charlie and 0 Uniform Sierra casualties, how copy over?"

November-Victor-Alpha=NVA (North Vietnamese Army)

Victor- Charlie=VC (Viet Cong)

Kilo-India-Alpha=Kia (Killed In Action)

Whiskey-India-Alpha=WIA (Wounded In Action)

Uniform-Sierra=US (United States)

Saying "How copy over"=Did you get that, your turn to talk.

The official name written on US Army battlefield "After Action Reports" from the Vietnam War (declassified and available from the National Archives in Maryland) concerning the North Vietnamese Regular Army was NVA (North Vietnamese Army). They will state, as one example: "18th NVA Regiment was north of..." and "...NVA rifleman...belonging to the 51st Company, 9th Battalion..."

The VC were not regular military forces and were not members of the NVA. They were guerrillas. They had numerical unit designations but had no government of their own...however they took their orders from Hanoi.
