History of the Dominican Republic 1965-1966 Battle Streamer:
The Dominican Republic 1965-1966 operation was a critical intervention led by the United States in response to a violent uprising believed to be influenced by Communist forces. In April 1965, a U.S. Navy task force, including over 500 Marines, landed near Santo Domingo to protect American citizens. Shortly thereafter, President Lyndon B. Johnson ordered Army paratroopers and other U.S. military forces, including the Air Force and its fighter jets, to assist. By May 17, nearly 24,000 U.S. troops were on the ground. The Inter-American Peace Force, formed with U.S. forces and six Latin American nations under the Organization of American States, helped restore stability, with the last troops leaving the Dominican Republic by September 21, 1966, successfully preventing a Communist takeover.
