Hemming was a leader of Interpen, or Intercontinental Penetration Force, a group of anti-Castro guerrillas who trained at No Name Key in the early 1960. Hemming joined an American effort to overthrow the Batista regime through the efforts of Fidel Castro.
The Interpen group of experienced soldiers are involved in training members of the anti-Castro groups funded by the CIA in Florida in the early 1960s.
When Castro proved to be a Communist, and subjected some Americans to firing squads, most Americans "switched sides" and this included Gerry Patrick Hemming, who, in 1961, established Interpen as a means to attack and weaken the Castro regime
