Transfering FRD rebels To Useppa Island
Time: Apr, 1960
Place: Useppa Island, Florida, U.S.
Details: In April 1960, FRD (Frente Revolucionario Democratico – Democratic Revolutionary Front) rebels were taken to Useppa Island, a private island off the coast of Florida, which was covertly leased by the CIA at the time. Once the rebels had arrived, they were greeted by instructors from U.S. Army special forces groups, members from the U.S. Air Force and Air National Guard and members of the CIA. The rebels were trained in amphibious assault tactics, guerrilla warfare, infantry and weapons training, unit tactics and land navigation.
Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
