Escalation is the administration's title for it at the time, same as the term "incursion" was substituted for the word "invasion" when US forces entered Cambodia on 01 May 1970. In reality, what really happend was the commencment of OPEN WARFARE between the US and North Vietnam after the Tonkin Gulf Incident & the transitions from a guerrilla war into a conventional war in South Vietnam with the introduction of REGULAR combat troops. Regular combat troops are CONVENTIONAL forces...that title should have given away the answer right there.
