I know there were advisors there much earlier,, : after 1954 geneva convention to divide VN into north and south, USA had MAAG ( military assistance and advisory group) with about 400 personel ( administrative & support staff and officers) - when the war was escalted, MAAG was named MACV Military assistance command in VN when the USA troops went into search and destroy campaign and operations ....
