NLF - National Liberation Front
The Việt Cộng, also known as the NationalLiberation Front (NLF), was a communist political organization with its ownarmy – the People's Liberation Armed Forces of South Vietnam (PLAF) – in SouthVietnam and Cambodia that fought the United States and South Vietnamese governments,eventually emerging on the winning side
It had both guerrilla and regular army units,as well as a network of cadres who organized peasants in the territory itcontrolled. Many soldiers were recruited in South Vietnam, but others were attachedto the People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN), the regular North Vietnamese army.
During the war, communists and anti-waractivists insisted the Việt Cộng was an insurgency indigenous to the South,while the U.S. and South Vietnamese governments portrayed the group as a toolof Hanoi. Although the terminology distinguishes northerners from thesoutherners, communist forces were under a single command structure set up in1958.
North Vietnam established the NationalLiberation Front on December 20, 1960, to grow insurgency in the South. Many ofthe Việt Cộng's core members were volunteer "regroupees", southern ViệtMinh who had resettled in the North after the Geneva Accord (1954).
Hanoi gave the regroupees military training andsent them back to the South along the Ho Chi Minh trail in the early 1960s.
The NLF called for southern Vietnamese to"overthrow the camouflaged colonial regime of the Americanimperialists" and to make "efforts toward the peacefulunification".
The People's Liberation Armed Forces of SouthVietnam (PLAF)'s best-known action was the Tet Offensive, a massive assault onmore than 100 South Vietnamese urban centers in 1968, including an attack onthe U.S. embassy in Saigon.
The offensive riveted the attention of theworld's media for weeks, but also overextended the Việt Cộng. Later communistoffensives were conducted predominantly by the North Vietnamese. Theorganization was dissolved in 1976 when North and South Vietnam were officiallyunified under a communist government.
