For the standard (normal) GI in the field, the reputation of the VC was they would hit and run (not stand and fight/not hold their ground). Which was to the VC's benefit, as they were good at it. The one time they did "stand and fight" they were exterminated during the TET offensive of '68. From that date onward it was a war against the NVA (North Vietnamese Army)...and they, unless ordered otherwise, always stood their ground! Fighting the NVA was no picnic!
Not being a regular army like the NVA, the VC were forced to utilize mainly guerrilla tactics (hit & run).
Communist guerrillas living in South Vietnam. The NVA were regular army (regular soldiers) living in North Vietnam whom marched south into South Vietnam to wage war. VC-didn't wear uniforms (generally) NVA-wore uniforms
They were called the Viet Cong. This is actually short for "Viet Nam Cong San".
South Vietnam was the turf of the Viet Cong (VC). NVA moved through Laos & Cambodia via the Ho Chi Minh Trail. Although, the VC could use sanctuaries in Cambodia (COSVN-Central Office South Vietnam; which we went after, under Nixon's Cambodian Invasion (Incursion) on 01 May 1970-resulting in the Kent State University Shooting on 04 May 1970).
