During his presidency, John F. Kennedy escalated U.S. involvement in Vietnam through several key actions. He increased the number of military advisors in South Vietnam from a few hundred to over 16,000 to assist the South Vietnamese government in combating the communist Viet Cong. Kennedy also authorized the use of U.S. helicopters and other military equipment to support South Vietnamese forces. Additionally, he approved the strategic use of covert operations to undermine the communist influence in the region.

Why did president kenndy send troops to Vietnam?

To try and keep South Vietnam from falling to the Communists, and because the government of South Vietnam was too corrupt and incompetent to defend themselves. The government of South Vietnam was never able to defend themselves, and President Gerald R. Ford finally gave up on them in 1975. They soon fell to communist North Vietnam.
