Last unit of Marines heads home in Vietnam withdrawal
The last unit of the U S Marine Corps in Vietnam, the 5th Combat Intelligence Team, prepares to head home eight days early as Phase VII of Nixon's troop withdrawal closes. The unit was the final remnants of the Marine Amphibious Force that had controlled U S forces in the northern provinces. Along with Marines, three Army artillery detachments begin redeployment as Phase VII ends.
