The US Navy's Brown Water Navy (Riverine Force) had the Mekong Delta Rivers pretty well sewed up; the enemy could still get through...but vast numbers of USN Swift Boats and PBR's, Monitors, and Alpha boats put a strangle hold on the enemies water routes. The Ho Chi Minh trail was another matter. That AO (Area of Operations) was bombed by the USAF into a lunar moon landscape; but since it was in neutral country (Cambodia and Laos), it couldn't be destroyed. The trail was bombed by B-52's and constantly "truck hunted" by the AC-130 Spectres. The trail survived it all.

Who could maintain better supply lines in civil war?
The Union, or the North, was able to maintain better supply lines during the Civil War. This was due to the fact that the Union had a larger supply of railroad lines, allowing supplies (such as arms, clothing, food, or soldiers) to be transported to the front more quickly.

What did the japanese soldiers eat during world war 2?
During World War II most Japanese soldiers ate a diet of rice and vegetables. In some place, they were required to eat whatever was available because the supply lines had been cut off.
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.
