Answer:

Main force Vietcong units were uniformed, full-time soldiers, and were used to launch large scale offensives over a wide area. Regional forces were also full-time, but operated only within their own districts. When necessary, small regional units would unite for large scale attacks.

In terms of military operations, the Viet Cong remained hidden (under the foliage) during the day and conducted operations during the night.

They used guerrilla warfare tactics, and they used the tunnels (that were dug in the late 1940s) underneath cities and jungles to their advantage (i.e., Cu Chi Tunnels).
