The process of transferring combat responsibilities from American forces to South Vietnamese troops during the Vietnam War was known as "Vietnamization." This strategy aimed to prepare the South Vietnamese military to take over the defense of their country as U.S. forces gradually withdrew. It was a key element of President Richard Nixon's policy to end American involvement in the war while maintaining South Vietnam's stability.

No. The TET offensive of 1968 was designed to attack every provincial capital in South Vietnam to incite a general uprising of the South Vietnamese people against their government. The tactic failed to produce those results, but the street fighting in the old imperial capital of Hue (pronounced 'way') lasted just over three weeks, giving the perception to the American television audience that the North Vietnamese were winning. It was the 'beginning of the end' for the U.S. involvement in the Vietnam war.
