011 19 October a smell Operational Group left the
advanced base, eith the object to reeonnolter"and occupy
the island of Capraia. Previously received information
indicated that there were no Germans an the island and the
only troops were two Cambineri under the eommand of a
sergeest major. Information was also given as to the lay-
out of the teen, locations or telegraph and radio stations,
cable hut, the Carabineri Barraeks, and the landing bomb.
Scam: of these informers were taken aloft as guides with the
small preliminary party who were to scout before the main
landing.
The group was transported by a British mine 'weeper.
Arriving off Ceprala harbor at 2200 hours, the preliminary
scooting party and guides were sent ashore. The night was
alma- and the moon rose at 2230, at which time men and
supplies were successfully landed on the jetty.
The first objective was the radio station, Which
was closed. The radio operator living next door 'ens
awakened, informed of the Allied occupation of the island,
and ordered to open the telegraph office. The telegraph
line and cable to Elba was shut off immediLtely, as was
the radio contacting Gorgon... The American radio operator
was stationed in the telegraph roo* and instructed to see
that no messages were sent without his approval.
Next, the Archpriest of the town was interviewed
and promised full cooperation. He mentioned that two or
three Fascist eoldiers in a cabin distant 3 kn. had a radio
set which should be cut off immediately. He mentioned food
as being the most necessary item, as only two weeks' rations
were left on the island.
By this time, the advance party had entered the
town. They were encountered by the Carabineril who welcomed
them enthusiastically, and confirmed the priest's report of
a radio station in the hills. An officer with sufficient

? Since all the facilities and personnel of the 083
Detachment in North Africa have been devoted exclusively to
activities in connection with -.he military operati.ns in the
Theater, there has beam no opportunity to conpile a report
of the day by day activities in the Theater. This brief
summary has, therefore, been prepared in Washington on the
basis of a--,re or less sketchy information reeeived by cable
from the Theater.
;icily' cadLtaJy- When the Seventh Army moved into
Sicily, the Army Command requested that we supply an 088 it
to accompany their Field Headquarters and to operate under the
direction of the Field Headquarters. A small contingent of
about twenty officer and enlisted personnel landed with -.he
troops and almost immediately after the enemy were engaged,
infiltrated two combat intelligence nissions through the enemy
lines. These two missions rendered outstanding service to the
Seventh Army Command and the combat intelligence furnished ny
the iris highly commended by G-2 Field Headquarters. One of
the missions encuuntered difficulty with the enemy but the

great personal courage on the part of several individuals,
one of whom was taken prisoner of war
In the later stage of the campaign, a combined 083-Navy mission
transported by PT boats effected a bloodless capture of the
island of Stromboli, taking a number of prisoners and important
enemy documents. $I work is continulng in the prosent Italian
eampaign although no details are available.
When the Firth Army moved into combat, an 088 Detach..
neat also accompanied thee. This mit, lade up of sore diversi-
fied personnel representing not only $I and Communications, but
also $O, Operational Groups and Services personnel. No report
has yet been resolved on the activities of this mission.
=mg ? A continual flow of valuable intelligence is
maintained by our stations in. Southern Frances which have been
augmented by an additional teem reeently.
SO has been engaged in planning and training in coop-.
oration with SON. This preliminary work has all been done in
anticipation of possible requests from the Theater Cannander far
SG work if forthcoming military operations into Southern Transe
require such work to be done. SO.602 plans are closely

rapidly being established in the North African Theater with
both command and operative personnel either in the Theater or

Although the instructor situation has greatly
improved and the extreme shortage of personnel some*hat
overeeele, it is etill one of the major difficulties or the
Branch. Another factor that has caused considerable diffi-
culty is the lack of suitable grades for both officers and
enlisted men in the schools and camps.
At the present tie, the following schools are
in operation:
Area A7-A-2 was used during the month as a
holding area; all student personnel were given
some training during their stay. A-3 was used
for the Basic SO-MO course. A-4 was used for
paramilitary training, mostly for SO students.
A-5 was used as a Finishing School for SO students*
Area 4--This area is composed of two camps,
designated as B-2 and 13-5, both of which were used
during December exclusively for the final stages
of OG training.
- Arta C--Area C is the OSS Communications
School, with some training also being given in
weapons, drill, physical training, etc.
Area u--Thisis a Pa.ramilitary School,
similar to that at A-4.
Area E--Another house was obtained during
December and designated as the new E-1 school.
Basic SI-X2 training will be held at E-1 and E-2
(although during December E-2 was used for MO
training). E-3 was used for SI training during
December, but will be set up as the new MO
Finishing School.
Area F--This area is used for CC preliminary
training, after which the students proceed to
Area B for final training.
