"During the early 1980s, a number of overseas Vietnamese organizations were created with the aim of overthrowing the Vietnamese Communist government through armed struggle. Most groups attempted to infiltrate Vietnam but eventually were eliminated by Vietnamese security and armed forces. Most notable were the organizations of Hoàng Cơ Minh from the U.S., Võ Đại Tôn from Australia, and Lê Quốc Túy from France. Hoàng Cơ Minh was killed during an ambush in Laos. Võ Đại Tôn was captured and imprisoned until his release, in the 1990s, due to diplomatic pressure. Lê Quốc Túy escaped to France after many of his comrades were arrested and executed. Lê Quốc Túy later died in France from poison." (Source Wiki)
"Viet Tan remained an underground organization with undisclosed projects and campaigns...However, on September 19, 2004, in a highly-publicized event in Berlin, Germany, the organization [i.e. Viet Tan] surfaced as a public organization under the new name Vietnam Reform Party. Its platform emphasized using peaceful means to establish democracy in Vietnam."
If any members here can provide info-worthy post/s, that'll be great.
Full Version: A History of Unknown Operations and Counter-strikes
I remembered watching some documentary made by the Vietnam government about capturing some of the remnants of the VNCH who operate against the VC along time ago, not sure if they were the Viet Tan.
anyway here is an article written from the VC perspective

at least this group is not included on the UN list of terrorist organisations. And apparently these person who recently arrested by the VN government Pham Hong Son, Nguyen Vu Binh, Le Thi Cong Nhan, Nguyen Van Dai and Le Quoc Quan had some connection with this Viet Tan group. Also, one support of this group is Congresswoman Sanchez.

Reactionary terrorist group casts spectral shadow over democracy
by Quoc Minh
Vietnamese people and international communities have been following frenzied activities to sabotage the Vietnamese State by the so-called Viet Nam Canh Tan Cach Mang Dang (Viet Nam Renovated Revolutionary Party) or Viet Tan.
The Viet Tan is a terrorist organisation of reactionaries in exile who, under the cover of promoting democracy, have co-ordinated with hostile elements inside and outside the country to sabotage the people’s government and destroy the country’s cause of renewal and its people’s efforts to build the country in peace.
In an attempt to sabotage the Vietnamese revolution, Hoang Co Minh, a Commodore of the Navy in the former Sai Gon regime, who fled to the US in 1975 together with elements hostile to socialism in Viet Nam, set up a counter-revolutionary organisation in southern California on April 30, 1980, called the National United Front for the Liberation of Viet Nam.
The creed of the Viet Tan is to abolish the people’s socialist State of Viet Nam.
On September 10, 1982, Hoang Co Minh organised a congress in his base in Udon Thani, Thailand, to establish the Viet Tan as the nerve-centre directing all activities of the front.
From 1982-89, under the leadership of the Viet Tan, the National United Front for the Liberation of Viet Nam sent dozens of members to southern Viet Nam via Laos and Cambodia to develop its local branch. The Vietnamese authorities, in co-operation with those in neighbouring Laos, uncovered and arrested hundreds of reactionary elements and seized a great number of weapons and reactionary documents.
Between 1989 and 2000, the Viet Tan set up additional subsidiary organisations, through which it implemented the "Nancy Scheme," making contacts with hostile elements in the country to establish a reactionary organisation called the Alliance of Renovated National Forces, with the aim of overthrowing the Vietnamese Government.
Furthermore, the Viet Tan expanded its "yellow flag movement" to warm up the anti-Viet Nam spirit within overseas Vietnamese communities. The Viet Tan also took advantage the Vietnamese-American Public Affairs Committee to work against the Vietnamese State on "democracy and human rights" issues in addition to lobbying extreme elements of the US political circle to issue bills against Viet Nam.
On September 19, 2004, the organisation started activities publicly in Berlin, Germany, and later in Australia, Norway, France, Belgium and other places worldwide.
The Viet Tan has also developed its forces by promoting efforts to lure Vietnamese citizens who are studying and working abroad to return home to be a nucleus of efforts to disrupt society and security and to gather forces for the promise of a "colour revolution" in Viet Nam.
At the same time, they actively supported reactionary organisations such as the Alliance for Democracy and Human Rights for Viet Nam, the Advancement Party, the Democratic Party XXI and Bloc 8406.
With its mafia-like nature, leaders of the Viet Tan continued its commitment to carrying out terrorist acts to sabotage the country. By the end of 2002, the police discovered that the Viet Tan had instructed a number of its elements in Viet Nam to gather a clandestine armed force and hire ill-doers and criminals to assassinate officials and later ruthlessly disposed of this army in order to silence them.
Taking advantage of Vietnamese Party and State policies on economic openness and the advancement of democracy, the Viet Tan is planning to use some foreign organisations as a cover through which its members can enter Viet Nam to wage reactionary activities.
The organisation is also attempting to contact extremist elements in the country, and encourage them to take overtly reactionary actions against the administration.
It has established law firms and businesses and designed microcredit programmes in Viet Nam with the aim of generating finances and creating a cover to support the activities of the agents it has placed in the country.
The outlawed organisation has targeted to ignite the public throughout the country to go "head on" against the State and stir up a storm of petitions throughout the country to intensely prepare for a scheme of publicising the Viet Tan organisation in Viet Nam in 2007.
The Viet Tan is now launching campaigns against Viet Nam in other countries, including ones to rally overseas Vietnamese and foreigners to boycott Vietnamese commodities and air services. In fact, a campaign to boycott air services offered by Viet Nam Airlines has already begun.
Additionally, the Viet Tan has tried to get a number of politicians holding extreme right-wing views in the US, Europe and several foreign human rights organisations, to use their voices to intervene in the arrest of a number of law-breaking elements.
The Viet Tan has worked out a plan to blare its operation and arouse and encourage elements inside the country to take actions which, once prevented, would serve as proof that Viet Nam was "abusing democracy and human rights."
For its activities against society, including terrorist activities against Vietnamese residing abroad, the Viet Tan has been categorised by Viet Nam as a terrorist organisation which must be stopped in order to ensure security for everyone. — VNS

The discovery of large amount of OIL in Vietnam..........................changed everything.
The US gov. no longer supported such operations. During the War, Udorn Thani was a massive US airbase/CIA center for
Operations against the northern parts of the HCM route.
