  Guerrilla Warfare Techniques ok first off what exactly is guerrilla warfare?

** Guerrilla warfare ** is the unconventional warfare and combat with which a small group of combatants use mobile tactics (ambushes, raids, etc.) to combat a larger and less mobile formal army. The guerrilla army uses ambush (stealth and surprise) and mobility (draw enemy forces to terrain unsuited to them) in attacking vulnerable targets in enemy territory.

The Vietnamese used the strategy of blending in with the terrain and hiding as the main part of their strategy. I n December 1965, Ho Chi Minh and the North Vietnamese leadership ordered a change in a way the war in the South was to be fought. From now on, the Vietcong would avoid pitched battles with the Americans unless the odds were clearly in their favor. There would be more hit and run attacks and ambushes [|Vitnamese Strategy of Guerrilla Warfare]
