Operation CHAOS was a covert program conducted by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) during the 1960s and early 1970s. Its primary objective was to monitor, infiltrate, and disrupt anti-war and civil rights movements within the United States, particularly those associated with opposition to the Vietnam War. Initiated in 1967, Operation CHAOS sought to gather intelligence on various activist groups, including Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and other leftist organizations.
