REDEPLOYMENT FROM VIETNAM

The 101st Airborne Division began its redeployment from Vietnam in November 1971. The Division turned over Camp Evans, LZ Sally and Camp Eagle to ARVN units, withdrawing to Phu Bai, and finally to DaNang to close-out of Vietnam. The Screaming Eagles were the last US Army division to leave the combat zone in South Vietnam. Finally, a single color-bearing battalion-sized element departed DaNang by plane for Ft. Campbell, Kentucky, in March, 1972.
