The government of South Vietnam requested military advisors from the United States to help train the South Vietnamese army. Ho Chi Minh was a communist and during the Cold War of the 1950s and 60s, the aim of the US government was containment of communist power and not to let it spread. The Eisenhower administration provided South Vietnam with money and military advisors (not officially called troops) to help stop the threat of a North Vietnamese takeover. The United States also was pledged by treaty (SEATO) to aid the member nations in southeast Asia, if they were attacked by a foreign (communist) power.
Eisenhower in fact did sen military aid to South Vietnam during the fifties. He supplied the ARVN with weapons and sent advisors to help train them.

Vietnam war or Second Indochina war was a conflict between North Vietnam supported by USSR, China and communist regimes and South Vietnam supported by USA. Although President Kennedy realized the importance of engaging communist designs in Vietnam he was against full scale US military deployment in the region. However, after his assassination Lyndon Johnson took over and reversed the previous policy and ordered US military deployment in Vietnam in 1963.
Dwight Eisenhower sent the first advisers to Vietnam. John F Kennedy sent the first US Green Berets to Vietnam. We could've not have to worry about the Vietnam but the US signed a document saying that the US will help with war with communism without hesitation.
The Vietnam War was one of the worst in American history. Combat in the jungle was difficult, and it was hard to know who exactly was the enemy, since Vietnam had two different sides of the war as well.
Eisenhower served as a staff officer for most of his career. Ike never served directly as a unit commander in combat.
