A 12 month tour was average. For the US Army, extensions were in 6 month increments. So, for the USA, two tours would be 18 months, three tours 24 months. Other US branches may have been different.

How much severance pay would a soldier receive upon returning from Vietnam War?

Maybe a hundred or so dollars. Most GI's (the smart ones) saved their money thru the "Soldiers Savings" at 10% tax free (combat zone). An E-4 with two years in Vietnam could bring home $6,000.00 in 1972. Be advised, a new car in '72 was about $3000.00.
