"Charlie" was a nickname for any member of the Vietnamese Communist Party, also know as the National Liberation Party. "Charlie" describes an individual or group and universally meant enemy to American forces.

=== === This was shortened to VC, or phonetically, Victor Charlie, and lastly to just Charlie.

Secondly, it also included the North Vietnamese Army and anyone else that was aggressively negotiating with hostile fire in country (Vietnam).
