The Viet War was not a war in which territorial gains were an issue...as they were in WWII (as one example). The strategy for success in Vietnam was to use "attrition" as a way of gaining victory. "Kill them all" (as the slogan went) until the enemy was gone; this was attrition. The tactic used was "searching for them & and then destroying them." Shortened to just "search and destroy."

What were the tactics used by US during the Vietnam war?
The North Vietnamese Army's strategy (NVA) was simple: infiltrate the south via civilian disguises, attack with speed and surprise, use women and children, send supplies via the Ho Chi Minh trail, and use guerrilla pacts. South Vietnam's strategy was to destroy the Ho Chi Minh trail, send individual companies on search and destroy missions, use "tunnel soldiers" to collapse NVA tunnels. Attack the north with air power and land power. America's plan was to bombard North Vietnam into giving up. Nixon's plan was to vietnamize the war, pull back US soldiers in an attempt to retain honor, and bomb north Vietnam into negotiating.
