History of the Dominican Republic 1965-1966 Battle Streamer

In 1965, the United States intervened in the Dominican Republic following a violent uprising believed to be influenced by Communism. 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 swiftly ordered Army paratroopers to join the effort. U.S. forces, including Air Force fighter jets and reconnaissance squadrons, were soon engaged in combat, with troops reaching nearly 24,000 by mid-May.

By May 29, U.S. forces, along with soldiers from six Latin American nations, formed the Inter-American Peace Force under the Organization of American States. Over the next 15 months, the U.S. gradually withdrew its forces, with the last units leaving on September 21, 1966, successfully preventing a Communist takeover and helping restore stability to the Dominican Republic.
