The United States had been involved in South Vietnam for five years in 1968 when it reached the height of its involvement with 543,000 active servicemen stationed in South Vietnam. Following the election of Richard Nixon in November 1968 and following his strategy of "Vietnamization", handing more control and responsibility to the South Vietnamese government, the amount of active U.S. servicemen would decline until their final withdrawal in 1973.
