Operation 40 was the code name for a Central Intelligence Agency-sponsored counterintelligence group composed of Cuban exiles.[1] The group 💯 was formed to seize control of the Cuban government after the Bay of Pigs Invasion.[2] Operation 40 continued to operate 💯 unofficially until disbanded in 1970 due to allegations that an aircraft that was carrying cocaine and heroin in support of 💯 the group crashed in California.[1]

On 17 March 1960, President Eisenhower signed a U.S. National Security Council directive on the anti-Cuban 💯 covert action program authorizing the CIA to organize, train, and equip Cuban refugees as a guerrilla force to overthrow the 💯 government of Cuban prime minister Fidel Castro.[citation needed]

Operation 40 was not only involved in sabotage operations. One associate of the 💯 group, although never a member, Frank Sturgis, allegedly told author Mike Canfield: "this assassination group (Operation 40) would upon orders, 💯 naturally, assassinate either members of the military or the political parties of the foreign country that you were going to 💯 infiltrate, and if necessary some of your own members who were suspected of being foreign agents...We were concentrating strictly in 💯 Cuba at that particular time."[citation needed] The group sought to incite civil war in Cuba against the government of prime 💯 minister Fidel Castro. When Operation 40 failed in accomplishing this goal, then in October 1960, Brigade 2506 was created, a 💯 CIA-sponsored group made up of 1,511 Cuban exiles who fought in the April 1961 Bay of Pigs Invasion.
