In 1966 and again in 1968, the 3rd Battalion, 21st Infantry Regiment went to Vietnam, where they served with the 196th Infantry Brigade (Light). On 15 February 1969, it became part of the 23rd Infantry Division (AMERICAL). As one their missions, the 21st Infantry Regiment "Gimlets" helped in conducting offensive operations to assure the security of the Chu Lai base complex. 3-21st Infantry was relieved on 1 November 1971 from assignment to the 23rd Infantry Division and reassigned to the 196th Infantry Brigade (Light). On 11 August 1972, with the deescalation of the Vietnam War, the Gimlets became the last ground combat unit in the Republic of Vietnam to stand down. When it left Vietnam, in August 1972, the 3rd Battalion, 21st Infantry (Separate) was the last ground combat unit to leave the country. It was inactivated on 23 August 1972 at Oakland, California.
