Aiso Library named for him at Defense Language Institute, Presidio of Monterey.] John Fujio Aiso was born on 14 December 1909 in Burbank, CA. He earned distinction at Hollywood High School as a orator and was elected student body president, an important achievement in a west coast society that harbored racial resentment for Asians. A graduate of Brown University and Harvard Law School in 1934, he worked for a New York law firm and spent three years in Mukden, Manchuria, on their behalf. He was drafted in the U.S. Army in December 1940 and was assigned as a mechanic in a quartermaster battalion with the rank Private Second Class. He was rescued from that inappropriate job by Captain Kai Rassmussen, a Japanese-speaking officer who was trying to start a language school at Fourth Army headquarters at the Presidio of San Francisco with a $2,000 budget. He thought he would be discharged when the Army reported that it was releasing draftees over 28 years old. Aiso was 32. But he was convinced by Lieutenant Colonel John Weckerling, G2, Fourth Army, that his country needed him. He was assigned as the head instructor at the Japanese language school first opened at the Presidio of San Francisco. Because direct commissions were not yet authorized and he could not function as head instructor as an enlisted man, he was returned to civilian status. Later, when Brig. Gen. Clayton Bissell, Chief of Army Intelligence, visited the school at Fort Snelling in 1944, he arranged for Aiso to be commissioned a major in the Army of the United States, an act that was not possible before the Battle of Midway due to an Army policy forbidding Japanese-Americans from becoming officers. Officially opening on 1 November 1941, the language school graduated its first class in May 1942 and then moved to Camp Savage in suburban Minneapolis where it was enlarged and renamed the Military Intelligence Service Language School. It was now under the operational control of the Military Intelligence Division of the War Department. In 1944 it moved down the road to Fort Snelling where the school added Chinese and Korean classes. By wars end, it had graduated 4,500 Nisei, 1,500 Caucasians, and a few Chinese and Korean students. The role they played in the war in the Pacific is well known. Besides the critical work of prisoner of war interrogation, they translated captured documents, plans, diaries, and letters. According to Maj. Gen. Charles Willoughby, Mac Arthurs G2, the men that Major Aiso trained shortened the war by two years. In October 1945, Aiso was transferred to the Civil Information Section of the G2 Section, Far East Command. Arriving in Tokyo in February 1946, he assumed investigative and enforcement duties in connection with the Political Purge called for by the Potsdam Declaration. He was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel in May 1947 and transferred from Military Intelligence to the Judge Advocate Generals Corps. Resuming his civilian law career, he received several judicial appointments in California, eventually serving as Justice Pro Tem of the California Supreme Court. He received the Legion of Merit for his World War II service and was decorated by the Japanese government in 1984 with the Third Class Order of the Rising Sun. He was a leader in the Military Intelligence Service Club of Southern California until his death in 1987 at the age of 78. Akin, Spencer B., Maj. Gen. He was Chief, Signal Intelligence Service/Division from July 1939 to May 1941. During World War II, Akin was General MacArthurs Chief Signal Officer in the Southwest Pacific Area and was three times cited for bravery, earning a Distinguished Service Cross and two Silver Stars. From 1947 to 1951 he was the chief signal officer of the U.S. Army. Akune, Harry M., Technician 3rd Grade. [Member of MI Hall of Fame.] He entered the U.S. Army on 12 December 1942 from the Amache relocation camp, Colorado. He and his family had been relocated as part of the governments action to remove 120,000 Japanese Americans from the West Coast during World War II. After graduating from the MI Service Language School, he served as a translator and interpreter for the U.S. 33d Infantry Division in British New Guinea. In November 1944, he was attached to the 503d Parachute Regimental Combat Team. He provided intelligence services for the amphibious invasion of Mindoro Island which became a vital base for the aerial war against the main Japanese forces in the Philippines on the island of Luzon. The 503d Parachute RCT became the lead unit in retaking the fortress of Corregidor. It was the key to Manila Harbor and the site of the surrender of U.S. and Filipino forces in 1942. Without formal parachute training, on 16 February 1945 Akune was among the first Americans to land among the splintered tree stumps, rubble and enemy fire on the heavily defended island fortress. As with most parachute operations, the initial period required everyone to fight as an infantry soldier, and Akune did that with distinction. Shortly after landing, he was able to extract timely and valuable intelligence from the prisoners taken and documents he translated. Akune demonstrated that a human intelligence capability is essential for success in a wide variety of combat situations. The after-action report recommended the permanent assignment of an intelligence specialist to every combat operation. His commander stated many times that his personal bravery and truly outstanding actions allowed our forces to take rapid and effective offensive action against a larger enemy force, thereby shortening the duration of the campaign and significantly reducing the number of American casualties. Alajajian, Jerry A., Special Agent. Joining the Army in 1942, he picked the CIC because of his Armenian language background, but, after training at the Chicago school and Holabird, he found himself going in the opposite direction to Australia. There he attended jungle warfare school and reported to the 41st CIC Detachment with the 41st Division at Hollandia. He participated in a dangerous landing with his detachment on the island of Biak. On Luzon, in the Philippines, he worked with the Philippine guerrilla units.

About FPRI’s Program on National Security The end of the Cold War ushered in neither a period of peace nor prolonged rest for the United States military and other elements of the national security community. The 1990s saw the U.S. engaged in Iraq, Somalia, Haiti, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Kosovo, and numerous other locations. The first decade of the 21st century likewise has witnessed the reemergence of a state of war with the attacks on 9/11 and military responses (in both combat and non-combat roles) globally. While the United States remains engaged against foes such as al-Qa`ida and its affiliated movements, other threats, challengers, and opportunities remain on the horizon.

  • Rights Watch
    British Irish RIGHTS WATCH SUBMISSION TO THE UNITED NATIONS HUMAN RIGHTS COMMITTEE CONCERNING THE UNITED KINGDOM’S COMPLIANCE WITH THE INTERNATIONAL COVENANT ON CIVIL AND POLITICAL RIGHTS SEPTEMBER 2007 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 British Irish RIGHTS WATCH is an independent non-governmental organisation that monitors the human rights dimension of the conflict and the peace process in Northern Ireland. Our services are available free of charge to anyone whose human rights have been affected by the conflict, regardless of religious, political or community affiliations, and we take no position on the eventual constitutional outcome of the peace process. 1.2 This submission to the Human Rights Committee of the United Nations concerns the United Kingdom’s observance of the provisions of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). All our comments stem directly from our work and experience. In the interests of brevity, we have kept details to a minimum, but if any member of the Committee would like further information about anything in this submission, we would be happy to supply it. Throughout the submission we respectfully suggest questions that the Committee may wish to pose to the United Kingdom (UK) during its examination of the UK’s sixth periodic report. 2. THE UNITED KINGDOM AND HUMAN RIGHTS 2.1 In its 2001 examination of the United Kingdom’s observance of the provisions of the ICCPR, the Human Rights Committee recommended that the United Kingdom incorporate all the provisions of the ICCPR into domestic law1. However, the UK has yet to comply with this recommendation. Suggested question: · What plans does the UK have for incorporating all provisions of the ICCPR into domestic law and what is the timetable? 2.2 The Human Rights Committee’s last examination of the UK’s observance of the provisions of the ICCPR further recommended that the UK should consider, as a priority, accession to the first Optional Protocol2.

  • The Quandary of Allied Logistics from D-Day to the Rhine
    THE QUANDARY OF ALLIED LOGISTICS FROM D-DAY TO THE RHINE By Parker Andrew Roberson November, 2018 Director: Dr. Wade G. Dudley Program in American History, Department of History This thesis analyzes the Allied campaign in Europe from the D-Day landings to the crossing of the Rhine to argue that, had American and British forces given the port of Antwerp priority over Operation Market Garden, the war may have ended sooner. This study analyzes the logistical system and the strategic decisions of the Allied forces in order to explore the possibility of a shortened European campaign. Three overall ideas are covered: logistics and the broad-front strategy, the importance of ports to military campaigns, and the consequences of the decisions of the Allied commanders at Antwerp. The analysis of these points will enforce the theory that, had Antwerp been given priority, the war in Europe may have ended sooner.

The first (No. 138) deals with Kwantung Arm's wartime vigil throughout Manchuria in prepa- ration for operations. The second (No. 154) deals with actual military operations against Soviet forces on the eastern front. This monograph, No. 155, covers operations in the northern and western parts of Manchuria and also in northern Korea. Like No. 154, this monograph is actually a collection of closely related sub-monographs, each a separate--but by no means complete--study in itself.

  • MILITARY INTELLIGENCE PB 34-09-2 Volume 35 Number 2 April - June 2009
    MIPB April - June 2009 PB 34-O9-2 Operations in OEF Afghanistan FROM THE EDITOR In this issue, three articles offer perspectives on operations in Afghanistan. Captain Nenchek dis- cusses the philosophy of the evolving insurgent “syndicates,” who are working together to resist the changes and ideas the Coalition Forces bring to Afghanistan. Captain Beall relates his experiences in employing Human Intelligence Collection Teams at the company level in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Lieutenant Colonel Lawson provides a look into the balancing act U.S. Army chaplains as non-com- batants in Afghanistan are involved in with regards to Information Operations. Colonel Reyes discusses his experiences as the MNF-I C2 CIOC Chief, detailing the problems and solutions to streamlining the intelligence effort. First Lieutenant Winwood relates her experiences in integrating intelligence support into psychological operations. From a doctrinal standpoint, Lieutenant Colonels McDonough and Conway review the evolution of priority intelligence requirements from a combined operations/intelligence view. Mr. Jack Kem dis- cusses the constructs of assessment during operations–measures of effectiveness and measures of per- formance, common discussion threads in several articles in this issue. George Van Otten sheds light on a little known issue on our southern border, that of the illegal im- migration and smuggling activities which use the Tohono O’odham Reservation as a corridor and offers some solutions for combined agency involvement and training to stem the flow. Included in this issue is nomination information for the CSM Doug Russell Award as well as a biogra- phy of the 2009 winner.
