    Default Dau Tranh Strategy: Integrated political and Military Struggle

    In case you cannot download the attachment here is the text.

    Political Struggle:

    Dan Van - Action among your people - total mobilization of propaganda, motivational & organizational measures to manipulate internal masses and fighting units

    Binh Van - Action among enemy military - subversion, proselytizing, propaganda to encourage desertion, defection and lowered morale among enemy troops.

    Dich Van - Action among enemy's people - total propaganda effort to sow discontent, defeatism, dissent, and disloyalty among enemy's population.

    Military Struggle:

    Phase 1: Organizations and Preparation - building cells, recruiting members, infiltrating organizations, creating front groups, spreading propaganda, stockpiling weapons.

    Phase 2: Terrorism - Guerrilla Warfare - kidnappings, terrorist attacks, sabotage, guerrilla raids, ambushes, setting of parallel governments in insurgent areas.

    Phase 3: Conventional Warfare - regular formations and maneuver to capture key geographical and political objectives.


    Obviously this is nothing new and pretty basic and has been (and continues to be) executed in various forms by various groups around the world.
