Everything is going as in the OTL for the missile crisis , until Kennnedys give in to the demands of the generals when they discover SS-4 Sandal sites on Cuba and order airstrikes for 48 hrs followed by an invasion to take the island and overthrow castro

1-What forces would likely be involved in this ? And what strategy will USN and marines take , what will be the initial objectives and why ?

2-What likely will be the biggest threat from cuban military ?

3-Lets say US easily defeats cuban and soviet troops in matter of days , will they place an occupation force in cuba and will that give rise to an insurgency ?

-What if not all SS-4 sandals are not knocked out and a local soviet commander hits a landing site with a tactical nuke sinking a few ships and killing a thousand US servicemen? Horrified Kremlin apologizes and assures it was not cleared by politburo and no strikes on US mainland or invasion force will occur next.What will US do ?
