The Tet Offensive was launched by which two groups?

• A. National Liberation Front and North Vietnamese forces
• B. Viet Cong only
• C. ARVN forces
• D. U.S. Marines

Answer: (A)

The Tet Offensive was a coordinated 1968 assault carried out by two groups: the Viet Cong in South Vietnam, operating under the National Liberation Front, and the regular North Vietnamese Army. The National Liberation Front provided the political umbrella and guerrilla forces in the South, while North Vietnamese forces supplied conventional troops to strike across multiple targets. This joint action shows why the offensive is described as a two-front operation, with both the South Vietnamese-facing front (NLF) and the North Vietnamese military taking part.
