Why did soldiers have to deploy to Vietnam by theirself of instead by units?

This wasn't the case with all personnel deployed to Vietnam. Units rotated in and out of Vietnam. Incoming personnel would be sent in as replacements for soldiers who'd finished their tour before the rest of their unit or had been killed or wounded. Those personnel were sent to Vietnam and assigned to a unit there.
