When they were evacuating Saigon during the collapse in April 1975. Although President Ford's use of US Marines, Navy, and Air Force in May during the Mayaquez incident might be the official date. This latter action was involving Cambodian forces and in the sea off Vietnam...possibly because US forces were pulled from the Vietnam AO (Area of Operations) and used for this drama, it is considered part of the war.
