SUBJECT Use of Disguise Materials and Alias Documentation
Within the U.S.
REFERENCE Memo dtd 30 May 73 to UrR fm Subj:
Issuance of Disguise Materials for Probable Use
Within U.S. or It's Territories
1. The Associate Deputy Director for Operations has asked
that we give you a detailed report of the actual use that the Office
of Training has made within the U.S. of all disguise materials and
alias documentation we have obtained for our staff members and students.
2. Disguise Materials
OTR has obtained from OTS disguise materials - including
glasses, wigs, mustaches and special shoes to increase height - for
12 staff instructors at mustaches,
Domestic Training Station. The purpose of
these materials is to increase the difficulty that students in the Basic
Operations Course and Advanced Operations Course will have in recognizing
instructors during problems and exercises conducted near
DTS. Exercises include surveillance, countersurveillance, orusn passes,
and dead drop problems in which instructors monitor student activity.
These exercises are run under carefully controlled conditions only in
areas where adequate liaison exists with local authorities to avoid any
flap should difficulty arise during an exercise.
About a year ago became the first instructor
to use disguise material; he found it quite helpful. During the period
23-25 May 1973, 11 more instructors were outfitted with disguise materials
by an (IFS technician. They were:

�Approved for Release: 2017/01/18 C01430353
The sole use of disguise materials by these instructors
has been or will be in support of the training exercise noted above.
At no time have the materials been used for other purposes.
3. Alias Documents
U.S. alias documents consisting primarily of business and
social cards, but also including drivers' licenses and social security
cards, have been used for more than a year by students
I Such use, is limited to establishing bona fides,
if required, during the human assessment pob1em that is a a
comprehensive exercise,
lAt the conclusion of the course, the alias
documents are collected from the students and returned to OTS. Again,
these documents are used only under carefully controlled conditions in an
environment where adequate liaison with local authorities exists
to contain any flap; and the documents are used only for the purposes stated.
4. A thorough canvass of all elements of OTR discloses no other
instance in recent years in which we have used disguise materials or alias
documentation within the U.S. or obtained such materials for that purpose.
