The Cuban Missile Crisis A Timeline Mark Nutter

October 15-21, 1962 US reconnaissance planes reveal SS-5 nuclear missiles supplied by the Soviet Union on the coast of Cuba. These missiles are pointed towards the United States. Another U-2 flight reveals bomber planes and troops being assembled along the shores, as well as cruise missile platforms being constructed. Kennedy and his advisors begin discussing possible options, both militaristic and diplomatic, but keep these discussions covert because they don’t know what the Soviet response will be.

October 22, 1962 Congressional leaders meet with Kennedy at the White House and are informed of the situation in Cuba. US Military goes DEFCON 3 and reinforces Guantanamo Bay with Marines. Kennedy gives the nation a State of the Union address and announces the presence of offensive missile sites in Cuba.

October 23, 1962 The OAS (Organization of American States) supports the decision to quarantine Cuba. Reconnaissance photos reveal that Soviet missiles are ready for launch. McNamara, Kennedy review and discuss options of confrontation. Discussion of diplomatic efforts at the UN and the vote by the Organization of American States.

October 24, 1962 Soviet ships reach the quarantine line, but receive radio orders from Moscow to hold their positions. President Kennedy concludes that if we invade in the next ten days, the missile base crews in Cuba will likely fire at least some of the missiles at US targets. McNamara talks of a very dangerous situation since ships approaching the quarantine line are being shadowed by a Soviet submarine.

October 25, 1962 U.S. Ambassador Adlai Stevenson confronts the Soviets at the U.N. but they refuse to answer. American military forces are instructed to set DEFCON 2 - the highest ever in U.S. history.

October 26, 1962 EX-COMM receives a letter from Khrushchev stating that the Soviets would remove their missiles if President Kennedy publicly guarantees the U.S. will not invade Cuba. The CIA reports that the construction of the missile sites is continuing and accelerating. RFK meets secretly with Soviet Ambassador Dobrynin and agrees after a phone call to the president that the removal of US missiles from Turkey is negotiable as part of a comprehensive settlement. Khrushchev receives a cable from Castro urging a nuclear first strike against the US in the event of an invasion of Cuba.

October 27, 1962 While one U-2 spy plane accidentally flies into Russia, another is shot down over Cuba. EX-COMM receives a second letter from Khrushchev stating that, in addition to a public promise not to invade Cuba, the U.S. remove its missiles from Turkey.

October 29, 1962 The crisis is over. In a speech aired on Radio Moscow, Khrushchev announces the dismantling of Soviet missiles in Cuba and does not insist on his demands concerning the removal of U.S. missiles from Turkey. However, it is understood that the U.S. will remove them shortly thereafter. Source
