Operation Q

Operation Q was a covert initiative conducted by U.S. military and intelligence agencies during the late 1940s and early 1950s, aimed at gathering intelligence and analyzing potential communist threats, particularly during the Cold War era. Its purpose was to identify and assess communist activities and influences in different regions, especially in Asia and Eastern Europe. The operation involved surveillance, espionage, and information gathering to inform U.S. diplomatic and military strategies. While details remain classified or uncertain, Operation Q exemplifies the broader efforts of intelligence agencies to monitor and counter perceived geopolitical threats in a tense global climate.
