The departure of the last American ground forces on 29 MAR followed the removal of the last U.S. Army combat unit in Vietnam, the 21st Infantry Regiment’s 3rd Battalion (part of the 196th Infantry Brigade), on 11 AUG 1972.

Remaining Army forces were largely military advisors; the last U.S. combat casualty of the war was Army COL William B. Nolde, a military advisor who was killed by an enemy artillery shell just 11 hours before the Paris Peace Accords went into effect on 27 JAN 1973.
