Operation Sleeping Giant

Operation "Sleeping Giant" refers to a covert operation initiated by the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) before the Great War at Camp Liberty. The operation was a strategic move to secure additional funding from the government by leveraging the fear of a potential communist invasion. It is mentioned .
==Background==
The primary goal of the operation was to demonstrate that a communist adversary could possibly covertly create sleeper agents out of American children, to then be activated at a future date. The DIA selected a summer camp and the children attending it as the subjects for their experiment. This setting provided an ideal environment to conduct their tests without arousing suspicion.
==Effectiveness==
The operation identified a special film as the most effective method for brainwashing. When viewed, this film would place the children in a highly suggestible state, making them more amenable to the ideas and commands being instilled in them. To ensure the effectiveness and longevity of the brainwashing, the DIA planned to monitor the subjects for a period of approximately 15 years. This long-term study was essential to confirm that the agents could be reliably activated when needed.
During the camp, the counselors tested the limits of how far they could instill communist ideologies into the children, using the brainwashing techniques developed by the DIA. Political science majors were hired as camp counselors, carefully chosen for their communist-leaning views from Vault-Tec University. These individuals played a critical role in shaping the communist mindset among the children.
==Results==
Before the children left the camp, they were placed back into a suggestible state and given fabricated stories about their experiences. This was done to cover the true nature of the operation and to ensure the children had no recollection of being part of a brainwashing experiment.
