NLF - National Liberation Front

The Việt Cộng, also known as the National Liberation Front(NLF), was a communist political organization with its own army – the People\'sLiberation Armed Forces of South Vietnam (PLAF) – in South Vietnam and Cambodiathat fought the United States and South Vietnamese governments, eventuallyemerging on the winning side.

It had both guerrilla and regular army units, as well as anetwork of cadres who organized peasants in the territory it controlled. Manysoldiers were recruited in South Vietnam, but others were attached to thePeople\'s Army of Vietnam (PAVN), the regular North Vietnamese army.

During the war, communists and anti-war activists insistedthe Việt Cộng was an insurgency indigenous to the South, while the U.S. andSouth Vietnamese governments portrayed the group as a tool of Hanoi. Althoughthe terminology distinguishes northerners from the southerners, communistforces were under a single command structure set up in 1958.

North Vietnam established the National Liberation Front onDecember 20, 1960, to grow insurgency in the South. Many of the Việt Cộng\'score members were volunteer \"regroupees\", southern Việt Minh who hadresettled in the North after the Geneva Accord (1954).

Hanoi gave the regroupees military training and sent themback to the South along the Ho Chi Minh trail in the early 1960s.

The NLF called for southern Vietnamese to \"overthrowthe camouflaged colonial regime of the American imperialists\" and to make\"efforts toward the peaceful unification\".

The People\'s Liberation Armed Forces of South Vietnam(PLAF)\'s best-known action was the Tet Offensive, a massive assault on morethan 100 South Vietnamese urban centers in 1968, including an attack on theU.S. embassy in Saigon.

The offensive riveted the attention of the world\'s mediafor weeks, but also overextended the Việt Cộng. Later communist offensives wereconducted predominantly by the North Vietnamese. The organization was dissolvedin 1976 when North and South Vietnam were officially unified under a communistgovernment.
