In honor of #APAHM, we are highlighting the contributions of a small band of Japanese Americans who served in the Office of Special Services (OSS), the CIA’s precursor, during World War II.

Japanese-Americans enlisted in the US Army during World War II even though the US government forced many of their families into internment camps in the wake of Imperial Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor.  In late 1943, an OSS representative asked for volunteers who could read and write Japanese and were willing to undertake extremely hazardous assignments. More than 100 men volunteered, but only 14 were ultimately selected for OSS missions. All were Nisei, the US-born children of Japanese immigrants. Once deployed, they were to interrogate prisoners, translate documents, monitor radio communications, and conduct covert operations.
.
A number of the OSS Nisei received awards for their exceptional service. Their accomplishments have become part of the Japanese American legacy and intelligence history.
