President John F. Kennedy sent Green Berets to Vietnam in the early 1960s to assist in the fight against the spread of communism and to support the South Vietnamese government in its struggle against the Viet Cong insurgency. The Green Berets were specialized in unconventional warfare, focusing on training and advising local forces to enhance their capabilities. This move was part of Kennedy's broader strategy of containment, aiming to prevent the domino effect of countries falling to communism in Southeast Asia.
