	National Front for the Liberation of Vietnam - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However, as the war with the Americans escalated North Vietnamese personnel increasingly formed the military staff and officer corps of the NLF as well as directly deploying their own forces.
		The NLF and its guerrilla army, the People's Liberation Armed Forces (PLAF), never used the name "Viet Cong" to refer to themselves, and always asserted that they were a national front of all anti-RVN forces, Communist or not.
		North Vietnam's regular army forces were described as PAVN (People's Army of Vietnam) or simply North Vietnamese Army (Quân đội Bắc Việt).

	People's Army of Vietnam - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN) is the term used by the Vietnamese for their army, but which during the Vietnam War (1961–1975) was incorrectly and erroneously known by foreigners and some foreign powers as the North Vietnamese Army (NVA), or Army of North Vietnam.
		The name in Vietnamese is Quân Đội Nhân Dân Việt Nam, and has always been officially known as such since its initial formation in 1944.
		The PAVN was not the Viet Cong (although certain elements disguised as such occasionally), nor the Viet Minh.

		While the division staff of the 1st Vietnamese Army Division was on 100 percent alert at the division compound in the northeast corner of the Hue Citadel, only a skeleton staff of the U.S. Advisory Team of the Vietnamese Army 1st Division was on duty at 1st Division Headquarters in the Citadel.
		Fortunately, the ground attack by the 812th North Vietnamese Regiment was delayed because of difficulties imposed by the rain, swollen streams, and lack of familarity [sic] with the area.
		Its mission was apparently to block Vietnamese units from reinforcing the city from the north and to reinforce the battalion committed in the northern portion of the city.
