Yes it did, you might be surprised to know that Australian forces were fighting in Vietnam 3 years before America even joined the war. Aussies were also the first to follow the Viet Kong into the tunnels. Australias contribution was modest with thousands deployed at any one time. The most famous battle of the war involving Australia was the Battle of Long Tan where 30 Aussies fought off 2000+ Viet Kong. It is a shame that the war was lost in the end.

President Johnson used the Gulf of Tonkin incident to deepen American involvement in Vietnam. And as early as February 1965, U.S. planes began to bomb North Vietnam. American troop strength in Vietnam increased to more than 180,000 by the end of the year and to 500,000 by 1968. ChaCha!
The last Marine to leave Vietnam was Major Charles J. McMahon Jr., who departed on March 29, 1973.

His departure marked the end of an era for American military presence in Vietnam.
