Eisenhower, Kennedy, LBJ, and to a certain extent Nixon & Ford sent US Military men to South Vietnam.
The term "troops" can be misleading. In the US Army Armored Cavalry Squadron's, TROOPS are companies commanded by a Captain. Example: "F" Troop, "C" Troop, etc.
Military men sent to Vietnam under the Eisenhower administration were combat troops; but acting in an advisory manner. Kennedy sent combat troops; also acting in an advisory manner, but also killing enemy soldiers in special operations. That's combat!
If you're looking for the term that describes regular US infantrymen, be they US Army or US Marine Corps; then President LBJ sent in "Regular" US infantrymen/marines, armor crewmen (known as tankers to civilians), and artillerymen in 1965.
NON-combat troops are cooks, truck drivers, medics, mechanics, clerks, and in Vietnam Military Policemen, to name a few.
