Communist sympathizers living in South Vietnam; often conducting guerrilla warfare against Republic of South Vietnam Government forces.
Germany's military strategy in World War I was primarily known as the "Schlieffen Plan." This plan aimed to quickly defeat France by invading through Belgium, then redirecting forces to the Eastern Front against Russia. The strategy relied on rapid movement and decisive victories to avoid a prolonged two-front war. However, the plan ultimately failed, leading to a drawn-out stalemate on the Western Front.

Quickly defeating France was a key element of Germany's military strategy before World War I primarily due to the fear of a two-front war. The Schlieffen Plan aimed for a rapid victory over France to avoid prolonged conflict, allowing Germany to then redirect its forces to the east against Russia. This strategy hinged on swift movement and decisive action, as Germany's military planners believed that a quick defeat of France would prevent British intervention and secure Germany's dominance in Europe.

The Vietcong were South Vietnamese and Cambodians in a political organization supported by North Vietnam to carry out guerrilla attacks against South Vietnam it support of the northern military.
The Vietcong were well supplied with Soviet military technology to counter that of the US; in addition, they were able to improvise simpler but effective weapons. And lots of them died. Remember, there were roughly a million Vietnamese deaths in the war, as compared to a mere 50,000 for US soldiers. Clearly, American military technology was very effective. The Vietnamese paid a very high price for their military victory.
A centralized (strategic) region to place military forces (bases); against the proposed enemy, Japan.
The Vietcong, formally known as the National Front for the Liberation of South Vietnam, had a structured rank system similar to that of conventional military organizations. Key ranks included political leaders, such as the General Secretary, and military ranks such as Private, Corporal, Sergeant, Lieutenant, and Captain. These ranks were often used to denote both military and political roles within the organization, reflecting the dual nature of the Vietcong's operations during the Vietnam War. The hierarchy facilitated command and control in their guerrilla warfare efforts against South Vietnamese and U.S. forces.
The strategy was to "kill em off." The official term was "attrition." The method (tactic) was hunting for them and then killing them; the official term was "search and destroy." The measuring device was the "body count."

There is no way the Vietcong would win against China. China has the biggest army in the world. Give China the win.
To the extent that one can argue that the United States has a coherent military strategy at all, yes, that sounds about right. No. Those are not the three principals of the National Military Strategy. According to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in his briefing to the Joint Chiefs, The National Military Strategy of the United States of America: A Strategy for Today, A Vision for Tomorrow, the NMS (National Military Strategy) supports the National Security Strategy (NSS) and implements the National Defense Strategy (NDS). The NMS is, basically; to protect the United States against external attacks and aggression; prevent conflict and surprise attack; and prevail against adversaries.
