This well trained, conventional army have much wider ambitions than the VC, they want to take total control of the valley, a stepping stone to unifying North Vietnam with the South under communist rule.The NVA conducts operations from across the border, primarily aimed at supporting the insurgency and launching offensives when the time is right.
