When did the last fighting men leave Vietnam?
Trick question. So we'll try to answer it this way: Offensive operations ceased by US forces in 1973 with the bulk of US troops departing country in 1972 for ground forces and 1973 for the air forces. But "defensive" combat continued or was reintroduced to evacuate ALL US PERSONNEL by 30 April 1975. And May 1975, if people want to consider the Mayaquez incident as part of the war. (Which apparently the US Government does).
What is the purpose of the corps?
The US Marines are an extension of the US Navy. They provide ground forces for amphibious and air assualts. They also provide security for US Naval establishements and the US Embassy's.
US forces did not win many battles at first what the cause?
The US didn't know how to compute the victories and defeats in the early days. Couldn't go by the old stand by...taking ground...so something new had to be invented; the BODY COUNT! So, the US forces won alot of battles, and lost very few...because the US forces killed many a communist in South Vietnam, from the very early days in 1955 until the 1970s. The US had the firepower to kill more of them, than they could us. So our counts were usually higher.
