Search and Destroy failed in Vietnam primarily due to its reliance on a conventional military strategy in a guerrilla warfare context. U.S. forces struggled to identify and engage the elusive Viet Cong, who blended into the local population and utilized hit-and-run tactics. Additionally, the destruction of villages and infrastructure alienated the local population, undermining support for the U.S. effort and driving civilians toward the enemy. This approach ultimately failed to achieve its strategic objectives and contributed to the overall challenges faced by U.S. forces in the war.
