Only three weeks earlier Washington had come to
the conclusion that the U.S.-sponsored regime of Ngo
Dinh Diem could not survive the mounting military

pertise. Fending off requests from Saigon and from
his own advisers for an American combat task force,
President John Kennedy had agreed to dispatch mili-
tary personnel and equipment for advisory and com-
bat support duties. During the next twelve months
American men and machines would help halt the in-
surgent advance and, at least for a moment, seem to
turn the tide of war for the first time in Saigon s favor.
