President Kennedy sent additional US Advisers & Special Forces (Green Berets) to Vietnam in 1961 up thru 1962. Regular US combat troops did not arrive (officially) until 1965 under President Johnson. Since JFK had troops covertly already arriving in Vietnam by March or April of 1961, he must have ordered them about on his inauguration day of Jan.20, 1961, since it takes a month or two at best/quickest for that to happen...
