The strategies (plan) and tactics (methods) were the same; attrition and causing as many casualties as they could. Only the equipment was different, and their inherently different style of employing them.

Tactically, whereas the US would deploy helicopters to deliver the troops into battle, the NVA would deploy stealth to evade them, and determination to counter the move (as compared to disappearing and not returning).

Strategically, whereas the US would deploy firepower to destroy the enemy (Jets, Bombers, Battleship (USS New Jersey), etc.), the NVA would wait out the attack, reinforce (replace losses), re-plan, re-group, and attack again. Again, the NVA strategy was to deploy determination and persistence, in order to make the war as bloody as possible for the US, and as an ally, to use the US media to transmit those high US losses to the American people.

This was done.

Natural features such as mountains, rivers, and forests often dictate the tactics and strategies employed in warfare, influencing troop movements and supply lines.
