Search and Destroy

US tactic against the VC

  1. Small units of US soldiers searched the jungle for VC camps and supplies
  2. Called helicopters to bomb/spray chemicals on them
  • The missions were often on ground that the VC had prepared with land mines and traps
  • Hit and run attacks occurred on these missions
  • Called Zippo raids as they would commit arson
  • Worsened US relations with the villagers as they would cause damage to the villages
