Flexible response
The flexible response was for responding to war with flexible whatevers
Flexible Response was the use of conventional forces and weapons as an alternative to nuclear war.
Kennedy's flexible response was important because it provided a range of options beyond nuclear weapons in dealing with conflicts, allowing for a more nuanced approach to international crises. This strategy helped prevent escalation to nuclear war and showed a willingness to use a variety of military and diplomatic tools to address threats. It also provided a counterbalance to the previous reliance on massive retaliation as a deterrent.
President Kennedy's Flexible Response was initiated to provide the United States with various means of response to aggression, not limited to nuclear attacks. As a result, his response to Vietnam was to send additional advisors, increase our military aid to the South Vietnam government and institute the disastrous Strategic Hamlet Program.
Flexible Response is a type of defense strategy of the United States and itÕs enforced by John F. Kennedy in 1961. This defense strategy is giving the United States the capability to use nuclear arms in full-spectrum warfare.

It was called the flexible response.
