"A Fire Team is composed of 3 Marines and their leader. 3 Fire Teams make a squad. 3 Squads make a platoon. 3 platoons, a company. And so on, and so on. All the way up to an entire division. But it all starts with one Marine".
Description Operation End Sweep was a United States Navy and United States Marine Corps operation to remove naval mines from Haiphong harbor and other coastal and inland waterways in North Vietnam between 6 February 1973 to 27 July 1973.
The operation fulfilled an American obligation under the Paris Peace Accord of January 1973, which ended direct American participation in the Vietnam War. It also was the first operational deployment of a U.S. Navy air mine countermeasures capability.
