The complementary conventional strategy, which entailed attacking and conquering an enemy position, then fortifying and holding it indefinitely, was known as "clear and hold" or "clear and secure." In theory, since the traditional methods of "taking ground" could not be used in this war, a war of attrition would be used, eliminating the enemy by the use of "searching" for them, then "destroying" them, and the "body count" would be the measuring tool to determine the success of the strategy of "search and destroy."

Who was Involved:
Search and Destroy was considered as a dominant approach of US forces during 1965 and 1968

When did it happen:
Search and destroy operations began in 1964, before U.S. ground forces were committed. 

Where did it happen:
In North Vietnam, and places where they had big military out posts

Why is it important to know: 
It is important to know because it helped us fight against the Viet Cong and it mostly likely saved most of the soldiers. ]]> 2018-05-15 13:56:31 UTC https://padlet.com/10672181/Vietnam_Padlet/wish/260855209
