1. Formation of Special Intelligence Units

1942

Summing up the discussion, THE CHAIRMAN pointed out that it was generally agreed that as an experiment the Chief of Combined Operations should set up a small Intelligence Assault Unit. There was a conflict of opinion as to (a) the numbers of military personnel who should be permanently allocated to the Unit; (b) whether the Air Force specialists required should be permanently allocated. These were questions upon which the Chief of Combined Operations should seek agreement direct with the Director of Military Intelligence and the Assistant Chief of the Air Staff (Intelligence).
