the American troops
Military advisors first arrived in Vietnam in 1950. America started sending troops into Vietnam as early as 1960, but they took no military action until 1965. The United States was actively (militarily) involved in the Vietnam War from 1965 to 1975.
Believe it or not, the first troops into Vietnam were not conventional troops. They were actually the Green Berets, or the 10th Special Operations Forces. They were there to train the South Vietnamese to fight the Guerrilla Vietcong in South Vietnam. They first went in country in the 1950's.
