∙ 14y agoThe last USMC infantry/tank units re-deployed from I Corps (MR1) in about 1969. The USA's 5th Mechanized Infantry Division took over their AO (Area of Operations) about that time at Quang Tri/Dong Ha bases, and Firebase's Con Thien; which were renamed by the US Army, Firebase's A4 and C2, which sit right at the southern edge of the DMZ.
USMC air and laison units still operated in country, even some artillery and transportation units. During the USA's last big offensive of the war in 1971 (Operation Lam Son 719), Route 9 (Hwy 9/QL 9) which runs from QT to the Khe Sahn AO and the Laos border, was so heavily contested by the NVA, that USA convoys were refusing to drive it; US Marine truck drivers (driving USMC trucks) had to drive those supply lines on Route 9. This is known, because ambushed US trucks, still burning in the night (along Route 9), were marked with yellow USMC lettering on their sides; along with the rumors that accompanied those actions.

US combat operations ceased in 1973 after relentless US bombing of Hanoi forced North Vietnam to sign the Paris Peace Accords. Nearly all American troops were withdrawn that year.
