The VC were southern sympathizers (sympathizers to the communists) living in South Vietnam. They became communist guerrillas fighting for the Northern Vietnamese cause; whom later sent down (to South Vietnam, aka RVN-Republic of South Vietnam) their regular army (NVA-North Vietnamese Army) to reinforce them during the war. The VC specialized in guerrilla warfare, the NVA primarily fought conventional battles such as at Dak To, Ia Drang, Hamburger Hill, etc.
Bottom line: The NVA & VC were communist allies; the NVA lived in the north & the VC lived in the south.
