History of the DOMINICAN REPUBLIC 1965-1966 Battle Streamer
In response to a violent uprising, suspected to be influenced by Communism, the United States took swift military action in 1965. A Navy task force, including over 500 U.S. Marines, landed near Santo Domingo on April 28 to protect American citizens during their evacuation. President Lyndon B. Johnson ordered Army paratroopers to join the effort. Over the following days, U.S. forces, including Air Force fighter jets and reconnaissance squadrons, engaged in combat. By May 17, nearly 24,000 troops were stationed in the Dominican Republic.
On May 29, these forces, along with soldiers from six Latin American nations, formed the Inter-American Peace Force under the Organization of American States. The U.S. gradually withdrew its forces over the next 15 months, with the last units leaving on September 21, 1966. This mission prevented a perceived Communist takeover and helped restore stability in the Dominican Republic.
This Civil War Specify Embroidery USAY Battle Streamer is a lasting commemoration of the brave actions taken by the U.S. Armed Forces during this crucial period of history.
