CINCLANT and CINCONAD will plan for and execute the simultaneous tests of CINCLANT Contingency Operation Plans 314/316-61 and CINCONAD Operation Order 1-61 in accordance with Enclosure 1. CINCSTRIKE, CINCPAC and other theatre QUEMEUT AND and force commanders wilil asupport as directew morein. b. Information will be passed through appropriate channels to the Government of Cuba that these tests are, in reality, a cover for the invasion of Cuba by the United States. It is recognized that this’information may result in an alert of Cuban forces thus tending to jeopardize a successful accomplishment of the OPLAN 314/316-61 mission, if the OPLAN were to be necessarily executed. However, any Cuban mobilization thus engendered might cause a related economic harassment, considered an underlying desirable result. ec. Normal publicity will be given to the test operations. Foreign observers will be invited if practicable. Although SOLIDARITY I, conducted in 1961, was attended by high level Latin American officials, a similar group should be invited to observe the Vieques demonstration; on a 1-day show of progress in armament, technique, materiels, equipment, and procedures. Their presence in the area as guests of the US would tend to give an air of Western Hemisphere solidarity to this portion of the exercises. ad. The operation will be conducted in early March 1962, if basic task remains to be disruption of the sugar harvest. If policy considerations, military impracticality, or other factors affect the timing of a policy decision (required by 12 February 1962), alternative slippage dates of 1 May 1962, to ft SECRET - NOFORN PEQRAL HANDLING REQUIRED 2 q— ‘pacta: 32423993 Page 7
FRE avis Cc SECRET - NOFORN coincide with the Communist "May Day" celebration (a time which would find a semi-military alert, probably not desirable yet possible quite concentrated in the Havana area), or 26 July 1962 which would coincide with "Castro" Day (again confronting a semi-mobilized situation but which imaginatively could be interpreted as a deliberate taunt to Castro). Other dates are under study. Additional guidance concerning slippage dates will be provided by the Joint Chiefs of Staff if the arrangement of other currently scheduled exercises conflicting with this plan make changes militarily or politically desirable. 3. Operations: a. Concept: (1) Enclosure 1 directs CINCLANT and CINCONAD to prepare operation orders for the testing of CINCLANT OPLANS 314/316-61 in conjunction with a test of CINCONAD Opord 1-61. b. Phases of Operations: (1) Deception (2) Alert CINCLANT, CINCONAD, CINCSTRIKE, and CINCARIB.

Phase VIII - Cover (1) Tasks - To mold world opinion that the United States forces conducted routine exercise aimed at determining defensive capabilities of the forces deployed to the southeast US. Target aircraft flew routes over the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea to simulate enemy bombers approaching military and civilian targets in the southeast US and at no time penetrated Cuban airspace. (2) Concept - In the unlikely event that Cuban authorities would make no protest, release to the press within two hours after maneuvers time a prepared statement announcing a routine air defense exercise of the forces in the southeast United States. No mention should be made of the proximity of the target routes to the Cuban land mass. (a) Should the Cuban government protest concerning provocation or violation of Cuban airspace, the United States should make an emphatic denial, setting forth as a major effect the fact that radar control aircraft were positioned over international waters at least 50 to 100 miles from the Cuban land mass to assure positive control of US aircraft, to provide navigational assistance and to preclude a violation of Cuban airspace. However, it was necessary to deploy the target fleet overseas and to transit overwater routes in order to exercise the air defense capability of US fleet units and YAP SECRET NOFORN | Docld: 3242735993 Page 18

If aggression by the Cuban forces is attempted, immediate protests through Press, UN, and State Department channels should be made from prepared statements or releases. (bo) Advance press releases should be prepared to reveal that an air defense tactical evaluation of the forces deployed to cGefend the tS is being or was conducted using the target fleet of USAF ADC B-57 aircraft. These aircraft were specially modified as target aircraft, unarmed and with bomb bays sealed to provide space for special equipment used in evaluations and to provide a realistic environment for training of the air defense forces. Further, it was necessary to fly near but outside of the recognized Cuban airspace to add realism to a simulated attack against US fleet units as well as US targets. In addition, special actions were taken by radar controlling aircraft to provide navigational assistance on the overwater portions of the routes flown by the target fleet and to prevent inadvertent penetration of recognized Cuban airspace. 4, Timing a.
