It was hoped that this policy would eventually enable the United States to withdraw gradually all their soldiers from Vietnam, who, in theory, would be replaced by South Vietnamese soldiers.They weren't and Communist north Vietnam won the war.

The Viet Cong were actually a guerrilla force fighting against the South Vietnamese government and its allies during the Vietnam War.
