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.

The strategy was to stem the flow of communist men and material from flowing into South Vietnam, destroy what communist men and material was already in South Vietnam, and then train and supply South Vietnam to defend themselves.

Aerial bombing (B-52's) of North Vietnam, to bomb them into submission; and "searching and destroying" all communists in South Vietnam; and counting the bodies as we went.

the Vietnam people went BOOM!!!
To train the Vietnamese Military to defend their nation based on US Military doctrine. The US tried every way possible to draw The Vietcong into a conventional fight by setting up fire bases and probing enemy camps. finally they tried to use air power to bomb and destroy supply lines and bases.
