The United States began sending troops to Vietnam in a significant capacity in March 1965, when President Lyndon B. Johnson ordered the deployment of combat forces to support the South Vietnamese government against the communist Viet Cong. However, U.S. involvement in Vietnam had started earlier, with military advisors and support personnel being sent as early as the late 1950s. The troop presence escalated throughout the 1960s, peaking in 1969.
