Nixon began as soon as he took office in '69. Finished most of the ground troops by '72, but left the air power until '73. But Nixon himself was removed from office in '73/'74 (Watergate), so Ford had to deal with any remaining US Military Forces in Vietnam. Ford had to deal with the fall of Saigon in April 1975.
