Not quite right for word choice. “Vietnamization” referred to Richard Nixon’s policy of expanding the role of the ARVN and moving them into the lead against the NVA. It is important in terms of understanding the last stages of that war, so I would ask you to please pick another word.

You know, I did know that it was a misuse of the term, and was just too tired and lazy to come up with something more fitting (and snappier). I had a mental bet with myself that someone would spot it— my guess was that it would be you, because I know you’re up on this sort of thing. :)
