Military history records no fewer than three events, all dubbed Operation Mongoose:
- Operation Mongoose was a special operation by the British operating from bases in India during World War II training Karen tribesmen in Burma to harass the Japanese rear. The British built up an impressive force. Covert airfields were built for supply flights and even hospitals were secretly established.
- Operation Mongoose was the insertion of a three-man American team by parachute near Stresa, Italy on the night of September 26, 1944 to establish a local partisan network.
- Operation Mongoose, also known as "The Cuban Project" is the general name for CIA covert operations and plans from 1961-1962 to destabilize and overthrow of the Communist regime in Cuba.
