they fought with the us against the NVA, this is correct i read a book about it, the other answers will tell you they fought for their own but they volunteered to fight for the US Montagnards are a distinct culture of peoples living in the central highlands of Vietnam, and have historically been ostracized from the other cultures in Vietnam; so they had/have their own unique "side". However, interestingly enough, in the early days of the Viet Minh rebellion against the French in the 1940's, there were several prominent Montagnard members. Later in the conflict, however, Montangards were successfully used by U.S. special ops forces to fight against the North Vietnamese / VietCong. == == I would add that the "yards" were paid mercenary troops who only asked for US support to protect their wives and kids while they were away, and in most cases, they were trusted to be capable fighters, and not run away like the ARVN would do.
