Answer

Unsuccessful, Westmoreland's strategy aimed to engage and destroy enemy forces in large-scale battles, but it failed to achieve its objectives. The enemy adopted guerrilla tactics, avoiding direct confrontations and melting away into the dense jungle, making it difficult for American forces to locate and engage them. Consequently, Westmoreland's strategy proved ineffective in countering the enemy's strategy and ultimately led to the failure of the American war effort in Vietnam.
