Based on the 90mm main gun, this appears to be an early variant of the American M48 main battle tank. I can’t get a clear look at the commander’s copula, but this appears to most likely be a M48A1 or A2.

It looks like a Remington Model 8 rifle.

That’s a Hawk SAM battery.

It was one of the earliest mobile SAM systems deployed by the US Army in the early 60s as a replacement for the Nike system. We used them until it was replaced by the Patriot SAM system in the late 80s/early 90s. I think it’s still in use by other countries though to this day.

As for that picture, I’m pretty sure that’s one of the beaches on the Florida coast, probably around Miami, and the reason it’s there is the Cuban Missile Crisis is happening when the picture was taken.
