Comments on routing sheet attached to staff study read:----
Routed to C/OS by DTR on 2 with:
"Harry, ask some of your experts to evaluate these papers &
their relevance to OTR. "
Comments thereon by as follows:
"The same papers (perhaps with some minor editorial changes)
were shown to me a few days ago as draft of an Operational Aid
being prepared by the PP Staff (I returned them). There is no
point in OTR duplicating their effort. The papers may have been
all right for the limited purpose described i covering
memo, but are entirely inadequate as operational training material.
They see the situation from the viewpoint of the affected government,
not from the viewpoint of what CIA could do about it. They are also
far too general. Some of the terms used (e. g., "internal invasion, "
p.1) seem rather unfortunately chosen. Of course, the subject
deserves treatment -- but a better one\!
Comments b "Althougb far from being an expert on the
subject, I believe that Section 2 of Paper HI-Military Considerations--
presents the subject of guerrilla tactics in the sauce light as the Special
Forces Course. In my opinion, copies of these papers would be of some
value to the RO Course and in the proposed Action Unit. j
