Operation Alert 1961
Operation Alert 1961 :
OCDM's major test and exercise during the year was Operation Alert 1961, held nationwide over a 5-day period from April 26 through April 30 in two parts: (1) Increased readiness phase, April 26-28; and (2) attack phase, April 28-30. The initial phase was the first nationwide testing of new plans and procedures for degrees of readiness. The experience was invaluable for future guidance in developing techniques for the purpose.
