Lots of history-centric folks here.  I tried Googling it - and came up with hundreds of "When is the last troops LEAVE VietNam?" no matter how I structured the search criteria.



Anyone know roughly when we stopped sending troops to VietNam?

April 30, 1975 would be a pretty hard stop on that, I think.

I recently talked to a guy who told me he had spent the past 8 months in Vietnam doing remains recovery work. It appears we have 'mortuary services' troops there today.

Thanks for replies - but I'm looking for a rough date that your average troops were shipped out.  I realize that certain special MOS folks shipped after that.

Damn, within the last week I saw a history show that mentioned when the last draftees received orders to head over, but i'll be damned if i can remember.

Combat troops or Support Troops? My cousin was with 1st Marines when they left in 71, he'd been there 3 months.

Thanks.  I'm looking for volunteers or draftees.

JPAC is based out of Hawaii

They do have detachments assigned to several countries in the Southeast Asia area.
