History of the DOMINICAN REPUBLIC 1965-1966 Battle Streamer

The Dominican Republic conflict of 1965 was a crucial chapter in the Cold War. In response to a violent uprising suspected to be influenced by Communism, the United States launched Operation Power Pack. On April 28, 1965, over 500 U.S. Marines were deployed near Santo Domingo to protect American citizens during evacuation. In the following days, Army paratroopers joined the effort, and U.S. Air Force fighter jets and reconnaissance squadrons engaged in combat. By May 17, nearly 24,000 U.S. troops were stationed in the Dominican Republic. The U.S. forces, along with soldiers from six Latin American nations, formed the Inter-American Peace Force under the Organization of American States. U.S. forces remained in the country for 15 months, withdrawing by September 21, 1966, after restoring stability and preventing a potential Communist takeover.
