USMC is part of the Department of Navy, even though they don't like to admit to it.

Jimbo, are you talking about Clancy's Shadow Warriors, or another book?
Thanks,

History Channel has a pretty good Dangerous Missions Series piece on the 1st SSF. Three or four vets telling some good stories. Even some H2H footage. I would guess the instructor in the footage was O'Neil.

Greek OGs
Guys,
I was aked to join the OSS Society and get some interesting posts from their e-mail postings. Here's a link that came from the OSS Society on the Greek OGs formed from the disbanded 122 Inf Bn (Greek Americans) who trained at Camp Carson, CO. Interesting read for any SFer and lots of good info.
The OGs recruited for Italian Operations were designated Company A, those for the France Operations were designated Company B, and those for the Balkans (Yugoslavian and Greek), were designated Company C. An additional unit, not designated by a company symbol, consisted of OGs to be used in Norway. In August, 1944, the OGs became known as the 2671st Special Reconnaissance Battalion.

My girlfriends relative was a member of both SOE and OSS. At first he trained guerillas in china for SOE. Later he transfered to OSS and became Fairbarns lead instructor at Area F. He was also one of the men behind supplying Titos partisans with weapons etc. Later on he headed CIAs covert operations in Korea.
His name was Hans V Tofte.
