Although the NLF was not officially abolished until 1977, the Viet Cong no longer used the name after PRG was created.

In 1963 fighting between Egyptian forces and British-led Saudi-financed guerrillas in the Yemen Arab Republic spread to South Arabia with the formation of the National Liberation Front ( NLF ), who hoped to force the British out of South Arabia.

In response, the security situation deteriorated with the creation of the socialist Front for the Liberation of Occupied South Yemen ( FLOSY ) which started to attack the NLF in a bid for power, as well as attacking the British.

A radical ( Marxist ) wing of the NLF gained power in South Yemen in June 1969.

On 20 December 1960, under instructions from Hanoi, southern communists established the National Front for the Liberation of South Vietnam ( NLF ) in order to overthrow the government of the south.

After suppressing Vietminh political cadres who were legally campaigning between 1955 and 1959 for the promised elections, Diem faced a growing communist-led uprising that intensified by 1961, headed by the National Front for the Liberation of South Vietnam ( NLF or, derogatively, Viet Cong ).

In 1960 it was replaced by the National Liberation Front ( NLF ), more commonly known as the Viet Cong, established by South Vietnamese communists to lead the guerrilla war against Diem.

There were delegates from the NLF, the Alliance of National, Democratic and Peace Forces, the People's Revolutionary Party ( South Vietnamese communist party ), and " the usual assortment of mass organizations, ethnic groups, and geopolitical regions.

However, the North Vietnamese Army ( NVA ) and the National Liberation Front of South Vietnam ( NLF ) were able to dictate the pace of attrition to fit their own goals: by continuing to fight a guerrilla war and avoiding large-unit battles, they denied the Americans the chance to fight the kind of war they were best at, and they ensured that attrition would wear down the American public's support for the war faster than them.

In 1959, Gelma established the 559th Transportation Group under the command of Colonel ( later General ) Võ Bẩm to improve and maintain a transportation system to supply the NLF uprising against the South Vietnamese government.

Materiel sent from the north was stored in caches in the border regions that were soon retitled Base Areas, which, in turn, became sanctuaries for NLF and PAVN forces seeking respite and resupply after conducting operations within South Vietnam.

The allies fought against the North Vietnamese Army ( NVA ) as well as the National Liberation Front ( NLF, also known as Viet communists Viet Cong ), or " VC ", a guerrilla force within South Vietnam.

The NLF launched a wave of attacks on the morning of 30 January in the I and II Corps Tactical Zones of South Vietnam.

The insurgency itself was conducted by the CPNLAF, the Cambodian People's National Liberation Armed Forces: they were backed by both the People's Army of Vietnam ( PAVN ) and the National Liberation Front ( NLF, better known as the Viet Cong ), who occupied parts of Cambodia as part of their ongoing war with the South Vietnamese.

Escalating the scale of American intervention in the ongoing conflict between Ngô Đình Diệm's South Vietnamese government and the communist National Front for the Liberation of South Vietnam ( NLF ) insurgents opposing it, Johnson stationed some 575, 000 troops in Southeast Asia to defeat the NLF and their North Vietnamese allies in the Vietnam War, but his costly policy weakened the US economy and, by 1975, ultimately culminated in what most of the world saw as a humiliating defeat of the world's most powerful superpower at the hands of one of the world's poorest nations.

Two nationalist groups, the Front for the Liberation of Occupied South Yemen ( FLOSY ) and the National Liberation Front ( NLF ), began an armed struggle on 14 October 1963 against British control and, with the temporary closure of the Suez Canal in 1967, the British began to withdraw.

In June 1969, a radical Marxist wing of NLF gained power and on 1 December 1970, reorganized the country into the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen.

He was a co-founder of the National Front for the Liberation of South Yemen ( NLF ).

After the NLF started the 14 October 1963 Revolution for the liberation of South Yemen from British colonial rule, Ismail became a full-time revolutionary, whereby he undertook the leadership of the NLF underground military wing ( fedayeen ) in Aden, as well as political activity.

He undertook a leading role in the dialogue between NLF and other left parties in south Yemen leading to the formation of the Yemen Socialist Party ( YSP ).

Al-Shaabi's National Liberation Front ( NLF ) political organisation wrested control of the country from the British and won political supremacy over the opposition Front for the Liberation of Occupied South Yemen ( FLOSY ) in 1967.

The publication of these and their sister Arabic-language newspapers Fatāt ul-Jazīrah and Al -’ Ayyām ( see website: http :// www. al-ayyam. info /) ceased when the National Front for the Liberation of South Yemen ( NLF ) took power in the then People's Republic of South Yemen, ( PRSY ) ( later known as the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen, PDRY ) in 1967.

By 1963 and in the ensuing years, anti-British guerrilla groups with varying political objectives began to coalesce into two larger, rival organizations: first the Egyptian-supported National Liberation Front ( NLF ) and then the Front for the Liberation of Occupied South Yemen ( FLOSY ), who attacked each other as well as the British.

Its inauguration in 1978 by Abdul Fattah Ismail, its first leader, came as a result of the progressive unification process of a number of Yemeni revolutionary groups in both South and North Yemen, including the Unified Political National Front Organization, itself the result of merging three parties, namely the National Front for the Liberation of Occupied South Yemen ( NLF ), Democratic Popular Union Party ( Marxist ), and Popular Vanguard Party of South Yemen ( left Ba ' ath Party ); and the Yemeni Popular Unity Party in North Yemen, itself the result of merging of 5 leftist organizations, namely: Revolutionary Democratic Party of Yemen, Popular Vanguard Party in North Yemen, Organisation of Yemeni Revolutionary Resistors, Popular Democratic Union and Labour Party.

Hostilities started with a grenade attack by the NLF against the British High Commissioner on 10 December 1963, killing one person and injuring fifty, and a state of emergency was declared, becoming known as the Aden Emergency.

Nevertheless, deadly guerrilla attacks particularly by the NLF soon resumed against British forces once again, with the British being defeated and driven from Aden by the end of November 1967, earlier than had been planned by British Prime Minister Harold Wilson and without an agreement on the succeeding governance.

Early on, the focus of the army was the guerrilla fighters of the Vietnam National Liberation Front ( NLF, also known as the Viet Cong ( VC )), formed to oppose the Diem administration.

From 1962 to 1975, Air America inserted and extracted U. S. personnel, provided logistical support to the Royal Lao Army, Hmong army under command of Royal Lao Army Major General Vang Pao, and combatant Thai " volunteer " forces, transported refugees, and flew photo reconnaissance missions that provided valuable intelligence on NLF activities.

The Viet Cong, or National Liberation Front ( NLF ) broke the agreement and launched an attack campaign that began during the early morning hours of 30 January 1968, on Tết Nguyên Đán.

Instead, the U. S. launched more " tit-for-tat " airstrikes in retaliation for a 7 February 1965 NLF attack at Pleiku ( Operation Flaming Dart ) and for a bomb attack against an American enlisted men's billet at Qui Nhon on the 10th ( Operation Flaming Dart II ).

While Sihanouk was out of the country on a trip to France, anti-Vietnamese rioting took place in Phnom Penh, during which the North Vietnamese and NLF embassies were sacked.

US troops believed that Vietnamese traditions held the symbolism of the spade to mean death and ill-fortune and in a bid to scare away NLF ( Viet Cong ) soldiers without a firefight, it was common practice to leave an ace of spades on the bodies of killed Vietnamese and even to litter the forested grounds and fields with the card.

The purpose of the organization centered on gathering information on the NLF.

ARVN commanders were initially under direct orders by President Ngo Dinh Diem to avoid pitched combat at all costs, allowing the NLF ( VC ) forces ( known around the world as the Viet Cong, or simply " VC ") to train and grow without significant opposition, despite losing several leaders to CIA search and destroy squads which relied heavily on rocket attacks using attack helicopters.

The helicopters transported over 1, 000 South Vietnamese paratroopers for an assault on a suspected NLF stronghold 10 miles west of Saigon.
