From 1961 to 1967, the number of U.S. troops in Vietnam significantly increased as the United States escalated its involvement in the Vietnam War. In 1961, there were approximately 1,500 military advisors, but by 1967, this number had surged to around 500,000 troops. This escalation was driven by the belief that a stronger military presence was necessary to combat the growing influence of communism in Southeast Asia. The increase reflected a broader commitment to support the South Vietnamese government against the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese forces.
