Operation Bogey

Operation Bogey was a military exercise conducted by the United States and its NATO allies during the Cold War in 1959. The primary goal was to test and enhance the readiness of forces to respond to a surprise attack. The operation involved simulating a sudden invasion, allowing military planners to evaluate their strategies and coordination among different branches and countries. It highlighted the importance of preparedness and communication in defense operations during a time of heightened tension between the Western powers and the Soviet Union.
