Nixon Doctrine
Vietnamization
the answer to this question is the Nixon Doctrine
The Nixon Doctrine, articulated by President Richard Nixon in 1969, emphasized that the United States would support its allies with military aid but would expect them to take primary responsibility for their own defense. This approach marked a shift from direct American military involvement in conflicts, particularly in Vietnam, to a policy of "Vietnamization," encouraging local forces to manage their own security. The doctrine aimed to reduce U.S. troop presence abroad while still maintaining a commitment to global stability.
There was no consensus on what were the key elements of the so-called Nixon Doctrine. From the Nixon administration side the doctrine was not a revaluation of military commitments but instead a contraction of the American forces at hand to meet its commitments with regards to the Vietnam War. The result had been increasing the defense budget not cutting it, nor cutting the rate of increase.It has to be noted that Nixon could not do that without the US Congress. The US military was not being constrained under Nixon, but the change was the organization of a large professional army. And, the CIA was moving towards using its assets in domestic security. The latter aspect was dangerous and on paper it never happened. The building of a professional army might have seen to be dangerous, but not so dangerous to the young men who would be now free of the draft.
An example of the Nixon Doctrine is the United States' approach to its allies during the Vietnam War. Announced by President Richard Nixon in 1969, the doctrine stated that while the U.S. would support its allies in their defense, those countries would be responsible for their own military defense. This shift aimed to reduce American ground troop involvement while still providing military and economic assistance, exemplified by the U.S. support for South Vietnam as it fought against North Vietnamese forces.
The doctrine you are referring to is the "Nixon Doctrine," articulated by President Richard Nixon in 1969. It asserted that while the United States would honor its existing defense commitments, future conflicts would be largely supported through financial and military aid rather than the deployment of American ground troops. This approach was particularly aimed at reducing U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War and shifting the burden of combat to Asian allies.
United States v. Nixon, 418 US 683 (1974)President Nixon asserted the doctrine of Executive Privilege gave him immunity from being subpoenaed to produce his secret tapes of conversations regarding the Watergate cover-up.Executive Privilege is an implied constitutional right of the President to withhold information from the other branches of government (Article II). According to Nixon, the conversations were intra-branch, protected by the Separation of Powers, and non-justiciable (not amenable to resolution by a court) because the court lacked jurisdiction over the communications.For more information, see Related Questions, below.
The policy of detente, also known as the Nixon Doctrine, was created to relax tensions between the 2 superpowers, The Soviet Union and the United States. Detente is a spanish word meaning "relaxation of tensions."
The Nixon Doctrine least describes a commitment to direct military intervention in all conflicts involving U.S. allies. Instead, it emphasized a strategy where the U.S. would support allies in their defense efforts, primarily through economic and military assistance, while encouraging them to take more responsibility for their own military affairs. This approach aimed to reduce America's direct involvement in foreign conflicts, particularly in the context of the Vietnam War.
