Details: President Lyndon Johnson appointed General William Westmoreland to replace General Paul Harkins as head of the United States Military Assistance Command Vietnam (MACV) in June, 1964.
The buildup of American military presence in Vietnam from 16,000 troops to over 500,000 troops occurred under Westmoreland's leadership, as well as President Johnson's initiative.

Plenty of the dissatisfaction was aimed at General Westmoreland. In 1968, President Johnson replaced Westmoreland with General Creighton Abrams as head of MACV.
