In-Game
Viet Cong was the name given to Communist guerillas in the South who fought to secure Ho Chi Minh's hold on the entire country. They are depicted wearing civilian clothing and red armbands. They are encountered in almost every level of the game, where they attempt to stop Nate from gaining control of the WhiteKnight contagion.

The Dac Cong were the "Special Ops" of the VC. They were responsible for carrying out assignments that coundn't be given to the regular Viet Cong troops. The Dac Cong wear dark military outfits and occasionally army caps. They are lead by Nguyen Trang, and are seen during the missions Host, Quarantine, and Refuge.

The North Vietnamese Army (NVA) were the regular military troops fighting from North Vietnam. They are seen wearing white uniforms and either pith helmets or army caps. They are seen in two levels: Infection and Trip. During 'Trip' several NVA troops are seen wearing gas masks.
