History of the CUBA 1962-1963 Battle Streamer
In October 1962, the Cuba Operation was triggered when a U.S. Air Force U-2 aircraft discovered ballistic missile sites under construction in Cuba. Commencing on October 24th, the U.S. Navy established a quarantine line in the Atlantic Ocean, while President John F. Kennedy strategized and the Armed Forces prepared to address the Cuban Missile Crisis. The Strategic Air Command heightened alert levels, and various military branches mobilized personnel and equipment. Despite tensions, the crisis was defused as Soviet ships turned back, and the U.S. demand for missile withdrawal was met. Aerial reconnaissance, facilitated by the Air Force, played a crucial role in confirming the dismantlement of missiles. The quarantine was lifted in November 1962, marking the resolution of a critical moment in Cold War history. The Air Force's contributions, including strategic alert measures and reconnaissance, were pivotal in the successful outcome of the Cuban Operation.
