By 1975, the Viet Cong (South Vietnamese rebels also known as the National Liberation Front) and the North Vietnamese Army finally established full control of South Vietnam after a long, violent struggle in which American troops had played a significant, but finally fruitless, role. Henceforth, the two Vietnams would be united as a single Communist-ruled nation.

∙ 14y agoAre you referring to Vietnamization? That was simply letting the SOUTH Viets fight the war, with US supplies.
Nothing new really...North Vietnam had been doing that for over a decade; fighting all by their-selves (with the local VC as allies) and simply utilizing Soviet supplied MiG21 jet fighters, tanks, artillery, missiles...and Communist Chinese supplied AK47s and MiG 19 jet interceptors (J6 versions).
Now the SOUTH Vietnamese could do it...with US supplied M48 Patton tanks, propeller driven A1 Skyraiders, and F5 Freedom Fighter jets.
