Counter the influence of the Soviet Union in the Middle East. Good regents review question for foreign policy
Dwight Eisenhower was the first to have a presidential heliocopter, starting in 1957.
President Eisenhower gave a special message to the congress on the situation in the Middle East during the Suez War to prevent the Soviet Union's attempt to enter Egypt and become an influence. Egypt's president intended to play the US against the Soviet Union in order to build his military power base and influence the Middle East region. The Doctrine failed in a sense but Nasser's deteriorated relationship with the Soviets led the US to switch to policy of accommodation. Now the US has the military influence in the Middle East.

There have been numerous different policies that US Administrations have applied to the Middle East. Probably the most famous was the Eisenhower Doctrine of 1957, where US President Dwight D. Eisenhower committed to using the US Military and Funds to protect US-aligned governments and US interests in the Middle East from Soviet or Pan-Arab enemies.
The Eisenhower Doctrine was a speech by President Eisenhower that declared that the US would give aid to any Middle Eastern country that asked for help fighting off communist attack or uprising. As a result, the US sent troops and diplomats to Lebanon to quell the fighting there at the request of their president.
