What style of warfare did the Vietcong use?

The Vietcong employed guerrilla warfare tactics during the Vietnam War, characterized by hit-and-run attacks, ambushes, and the use of the terrain to their advantage. They utilized booby traps and tunnels to conduct surprise assaults and evade the superior firepower of the U.S. and South Vietnamese forces. This asymmetrical approach aimed to undermine the enemy's morale and support while garnering local support and mobilizing the population against foreign intervention.

What disadvantages did the Vietcong have in the Vietnam War?

The Vietcong were a light infantry force, primarily used for guerrilla warfare. They had virtually no heavy equipment and no navy or air force. Like most guerrilla forces, they had virtually no training in infantry tactics, and poor leadership. They were used by the main North Vietnamese Army to harass the ARVN and US forces, and to conduct politically-oriented actions against South Vietnamese citizens. The Vietcong's primary value was to provide the illusion of a threat to the ARVN and US forces, and to be a large political lever to use against the South Vietnamese government.
