I refuse to Google it, as bad as I want to, because cheating. Meh.

So, in the meantime, I am awaiting response, LTC (Join to see). Surely, it's a clever code name with something involving communism and Cuba. I know that much!

I think...the entire operation was operation Mongoose, with the "invasion" at the bay of pigs a feint. Either that or Operation Zapata...depending on which version / timeline. CIA had 3 names for the operation somewhere along the line....
