History of the Second Nicaraguan Campaign Battle Streamer
Between 1926 and 1933, Nicaragua was engulfed in political turmoil and violence, threatening American interests in the region. U.S. Marines were deployed to protect American citizens, ensure the safety of international commerce, and support a neutral environment for fair elections.
Throughout the campaign, the Marines conducted combat operations against armed insurgents, including the forces of Augusto Sandino, a leader of the resistance against U.S. intervention. In addition to combat, Marines helped establish a stable Nicaraguan National Guard, training local forces to maintain long-term peace and security.
The campaign not only demonstrated the Marine Corps’ effectiveness in small-scale expeditionary warfare but also laid the groundwork for their legacy as a rapid-response force capable of complex operations. By the time the Marines departed in 1933, their efforts had brought greater stability to Nicaragua, leaving behind a robust security force and a lasting impression of American military professionalism.
