The Viet Cong used tunnels primarily as infiltration routes around South Vietnam. They would be able to move under ground to near their point of attack without being detected. After attacking a village or military they would return to the tunnel and disappear. They also could move supplies and cache weapons in them for later use. Some of the tunnels even had hospitals.
What is a Vietnam tunnel rat?
During the Vietnam war the Vietcong made a tunnel network under Vietnam which they used for communication and supply routes. When the American troops found the entrance to one of these tunnels they would send one soldier down into the tunnel armed only with a gun, a knife, a flashlight and a piece of string. These soldiers were called 'tunnel rats'. They would explore the tunnels and then bring any papers or information back to the rest of his troops at the entrance to the tunnel. Many 'tunnel rats' were killed while down in the tunnels as the Vietcong set booby traps to kill the 'tunnel rats'.
