required period. His duty assignments during this
period will vary with the individual and will follow
that assignment and rotation desired by CIA insofar
as it is practicable for Army to do so. Types of
duty contemplated by CIA include field duty, Strategic
Intelligence School, and assignment to CIA as part of
its regular active duty Army quota.
C. If trainee fails to complete OCS successfully, CIA

gated active duty service, he will be released from
active duty and given the opportunity to resign his
reserve commission, provided that CIA certifies that
he has agreed to resume employment as a civilian in
that Agency. If his employment with the Agency is
terminated prior to expiration of the period for
which he would normally have been required to continue
in reserve status, CIA will notify the Army which may
then in its discretion tender the trainee a reserve
commission for the unexpired portion of the obligated
reserve duty period.
(5) Charge Against Quota
Persons accepted for training under this agreement will
be charged, commencing with the day of enlistment, to
the regular quota of active duty commissioned personnel
assigned by Army to CIA.
