The process of transferring combat responsibilities from American forces to South Vietnamese troops during the Vietnam War was known as "Vietnamization." This strategy aimed to prepare the South Vietnamese military to take over the defense of their country as U.S. forces gradually withdrew. It was a key element of President Richard Nixon's policy to end American involvement in the war while maintaining South Vietnam's stability.
