The Gemini missions were designed to bridge the gap between the small Mercury mission and the much larger and more demanding Apollo moon missions.
Gemini developed orbital rendezvous, navigation, guidance and docking techniques alongside testing various parts and components to be fitted to the future Apollo spacecraft. Gemini 12 was the last Gemini flight in 1966.

What missions did Neil Armstrong go on?
Apollo 11 and Gemini 8. He helped the mission Gemini 11, but I don't think he went on it.
How many Gemini missions were there in a two year period?
In the two year period 1784 to 1786 there were none. In any arbitrarily chosen two year period since the brginning of the universe, the chance of Gemini missions on Earth is vanishingly small. For all practical purposes it is zero. However, it is possible that there were Gemini missions on other inhabited planets. If the universe is infinite, it is a mathematical certainty that there are always Gemini missions occurring somewhere, and always people asking how many of them there were, and an infinity of people providing facetious answers. Another contributor dropped by and commented: I could not disagree less.
