Must be a new fad 21st century term. Never heard of it. GIs going into tunnels (also known as bunkers during the war) armed with .45s were called "tunnel rats" because thats what you'll find in those tunnels rats! And lots of them.

The NVA infiltrated from the north, but the VC "Lived" in South Vietnam. Consequently the VC had to hide (cache) weapons, ammunition, medical supplies, explosives, food, etc. Since the US deployed aircraft 24/7, anything could be seen from the air, therefore...they dug tunnels; tunnels CANNOT be seen from the air (except today's hi-tech computers).

The VC had tunnels in most places thru-out RVN.

Tunnels were utilized by communist forces in Vietnam to avoid aerial reconnaissance aircraft. Supplies, men, and underground medical facilities were just a part of their under-ground network.

The holes were spider holes. The soldiers who went into the holes to ferret out the enemy were called tunnel rats and in general had a short lifespan.
