Whilst conscription was in place in South Vietnam before and during the Vietnam War, this conscription applied only to the Navy, Air Force and Army. Enlistment to the South Vietnam Marine Corps was by Volunteering only. (Of course if you did not volunteer to the Marine Corps you would be placed elsewhere).
RVN Marines tended to considerably more anti-communist than their brothers in other branches of service (as a whole). Even after the fall of Saigon on the 30th of April 1975 numerous South Vietnam Marine Corps units continued the fight against the Viet Cong, inparticular south of Saigon into the Mekong Delta. The last Allied fighting force of the Vietnam War was the Soi Bien unit, better know as Major Ba Binhs Seawolves (or fighting Wolves). They continued to fight well into May 1975 rather than surrender with the remnants of the unit eventually lifted off beaches of South Vietnam by the US Navy.
The World emblem of the South Vietnam Marine Corps is similar to the emblem of the US Marine Corps - The difference being that the USMC has a map of the Americas in the emblem whilst the RVN Marines have a map of Vietnam to the emblem.
For your kind Consideration.
