How did the US escalate its own efforts to win the Vietnam War in the late 1960s?

The United States escalated its war effort in part by drafting young men into military service through the Selective Service System. This expanded the number of troops available to fight in Vietnam. The other choices do not describe escalation: the US did not seek alliances with communist China to win the war, and it continued supporting South Vietnam rather than reducing that support.
