An undercurrent of friction has recently developed between

AMICE/14 and AMTRUNK/3 which manifested itself in a fistfight on

29 March.

This was precipitated by AMTRUNK/3 who called AMICE/14

the Cuban term for a.

This in turn gives rise to the

question whether AMICE/14, with a

possible history of homosexual activity (see UFGA-8411), has made

PROJECT AMTRUNK OPERATIONAL REVIEW

I.

STATUS REPORT ON TRAINING AND PROCESSING, 4-31 MARCH.

The AMTRUNK Team, consisting of AMICE/27;

AMICE/14, AMTRUNK/2,

•and AMTRUNK/3 were safehoused on 4 March 1963 at Safesite #164

on Plantation Key.

Andrew S. PARMERS, KUROAR instructor from

headquarters, was already at the training site when the team

was brought there by the two case officers, Irving N.

PEGGINS

and Hobart J. VANDEBORN.

PARMERS remained at the safesite

until 16 March during which time he conducted training in

clandestine methods and techniques.. This

training included

security, cover and compartmentation, clandestine communica-

tions, agent spotting, selection, recruitment and management,

and operational planning

and reporting.

The training included

group discussion and participation in a series of 'appropriate

operational situations, several problems, and daily physical

training.

During this two week period, either PEGGINS or

VANDEBORN visited the safesite every day, spending an average

of two or three hours with the group in operational dis-

cussions and processing.

During the week of 18 thru 23 March,

both case officers spent a majority of the time with the group,

debriefing them in detail on their operational contacts, workin

out operational details of their infiltration, and continuing

their training on an informal basis.

The week of 25 through

30 March was

spent in PM-type training with emphasis on compass

and map reading, including two night problems, and on weapons

familiarization

and firing.

During the period under dis-

cussion the AMTRUNK group were all LCFLUTTERED, were assessed

by the KUROAR assessment team, were given an initial series

of immunizations, were issued clothing, were processed for

alias documentation, were processed for disguises, and were

further processed on cover and finance problems.

The re-

sults of the LCFLUTTER examinations were

sent to headquarters

under cover of UFGA-8111, on 13 March 1963.

Based on DIR

26430, no further LCFLUTTER is planned at the present time.

figures in Havana.

Fortunately his

role in this operation is comparatively minor and he appears

willing to comply with whatever A/2 decides.

Nevertheless,

direct control of A/3 offers problems in the future.

TASKS

2.

Although not definite, A/3 may remain at his father is

communications.

Having completed this he would then be ex-

filtrated

at Punta Jijira.

4.

A/2 will go to Havana and obtain safehöuse and operational

support through his contacts.

A/2 will contact and develop two potential assets with

high level connections within the Rebel Army.

In

addition both men

are presently outside of the Cuban

Army

organization and this position may dampen their effectiveness

in recruiting within the Army.

Station reports

on DUARD, con-

flict with A/2's evaluation of this man.

While there is no

evidence to verify

that QuArte is pro-regime,

there has been

a recent report on him from AMLEO/3 which claims DUARTE is

an

opportunist who might work for the highest bidder.

A/2's

rebuttal

to these remarks is

that QUARtE has

assisted him

1n

the past and when the chips were down he continued to aid him

in his underground activities.

This still leaves a question

mark next to the worth of DUARTE which unfortunately can only

be resolved by direct contact between him and A/2.

There are

other security implications which should be discussed in this

evaluation.

Both A/2 and A/3 cannot be considered truly se-

curity conscious.

While safehoused A/2 wrote a letter to a

contact

in Miami

which was to be transmitted by his case

officer.

The letter gave an indication that A/2 was seeking

contacts in Havana and conveyed the impression that a trip

was in

the dfing.

A/2 has written several other letters

not seen by his COs which might have given the same

impres-

AMICE/27 and AMTRUNK/2 on an operation that would take them

first to Miami and then to Cuba.

Once there they would go

to his Tathers tarm and begin to make contacts.

A/3 also

stated that a man named DUARTE would be one of their con-

tacts.

This loose talk coupled with A/3's attitude that

KUBARK exists only to serve him makes him a marginal candi-

date for this

operation.

However, if A/3 is exfiltrated

three days

after his entry into Cuba,

the operation will

gain his usefulness and

eliminate some of

the risk he

presents.

ANTRUNK PERSONNEL

ANCE/RY, senior

member of the ANTRUnK group, is a 41

a wealthy high class family.

His father, now deceased, was a prominent individual in law

and

politics and was at one time a senator. A/27 himself

graduated from law school in Habana and was a practising

lawyer.

In 1959 he became legal adviser to Camilio Cienfuegos.

Following the disappearance of Cienfuegos in October 1959,

A/27 began to engage in counter-revolutionary activities.

In May 1961, at which time he'held the

position of Under-

Secretary of Public Works,

he felt that his underground

•activities.had come. to the attention of the government

and

he took refuge along with his wife in the Venezuelan Embassy.

He was given safe conduct from the Embassy to PBPRIME in late

1961.

Subject is intelligent, articulate, and highly moti-

vated.

He has some experience in counter-revolutionary

activities and has demonstrated an excellent capacity for

B. TASKS

1. Make preliminary black maritime infiltration by small

individuals who formerly assisted 'AMICE/14 in infil-exfil

operations.

2.. Through contacts on Cinco Leguas Key, organize a ratline

into the mainland, including making arrangements for trans-

portation into Havana.

Through the mechanism established above,

move to Havana

and obtain safehousing and operational support.

Make all necessary arrangements for subsequent exfil-

tration and future infiltrations.
