1975
President Nixon's policy of Vietnamization was designed to shift the burden of Vietnam War onto the South Vietnamese army so the United States army could withdraw from the country. Nixon hoped that the South Vietnamese army would be able to defeat North Vietnam if it continued to receive supplies from the United States. The policy failed. Once the United States army withdrew, the South Vietnamese army was defeated by the North Vietnamese army.

The South Vietnamese Army; "in-country"...we called him "Arvin the Marvin." There was also a South Vietnamese Air Force, Marines, Navy, and a South Vietnamese Ranger outfit.

For North Vietnam or South Vietnam? The North Vietnamese were known simply as the 'North Vietnamese Army' (NVA) to US forces, but their actual title was Vietnam Peoples' Army, as it common practice in Communist states. The South Vietnamese Army was referred to as the Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN).
The North Vietnamese Army was a regular army; just the like the US Army. The South Vietnamese communists living in South Vietnam were called the Viet Cong (VC); they were the guerrillas.
ARVN=Army Republic of South Vietnam. NVA=North Vietnamese Army.
The Viet Cong were actually a guerrilla force fighting against the South Vietnamese government and its allies during the Vietnam War. They were a communist insurgency movement with connections to North Vietnam. They were not the army of the South Vietnamese communists, but rather a separate entity that fought alongside the North Vietnamese army.
South Vietnamese Army personnel were called ARVNs and South Viet civilians were called "Viet Nationals" (short for South Vietnamese citizens).
