Summary:

The Royal Thailand Government request that the United States withdraw its combat forces from Thailand resulted in a phasedown from 27,000 military personnel in the country in March 1975 to less than 250 as of July 20, 1976.

Through the cooperation of the Thai Government and agreements reached during phasedown and withdrawal, the operation was a success. One of the objectives of the phasedown was to maintain the best possible relations with Thailand. Items reported as excess to U.S. needs were turned over to the Thai Government. Although some improvements are needed in planning, managing, and coordinating withdrawal operations, millions of dollars of material were distributed to Pacific bases and to other U.S. installations to satisfy valid needs.
