US flexed its military muscle during Cuban crisis
A first anniversary look shows the 1st Armored Division moved from Ft. Hood to Ft. Stewart as part of a staged pressure campaign against the Soviet missiles in Cuba. The operation involved 15,500 men, 59,641 tons, 183 ships and 2,500 aircraft, costing over $100 million, with ships and transports scarce and a heavy reliance on air mobility.
