The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution happened first (August 1964). Operation Rolling Thunder began March 1965, large-scale U.S. troop escalation was in 1965, and the Tet Offensive was January 1968.

The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution: Allowed the president to send more U.S. forces / use broad military force in Vietnam (it gave the president authority to take “all necessary measures” to repel attacks), not a declaration of war.
