=== Military ===
The DRV’s force defence consisted of forces such as the Vietcong (VC) and the North Vietnamese Army (NVA). The Vietcong was low-budget and technologically unsophisticated, but survived the U.S.’s military with tactics such as digging and using multitudes of tunnels. While the DRV’s numbers were decimated after the ill-advised Tet Offensive, it helped win them the war in the long-term by demoralizing the enemy’s homefront.
 
== Economy ==
Land reform programs resulted in the end of feudalism’s remnants, and improved economic conditions for the people. Food production also increased steadily during this reformation.<ref>{{safesubst:Cite journal|last = E.
