question:
SECTION 1. FINDINGS.

Congress finds the following:
(1) The First Special Service Force (the ''Force''), a
military unit composed of volunteers from the United States and
Canada, was activated in July 1942 at Fort Harrison near
Helena, Montana.
(2) The Force was initially intended to target military and
industrial installations that were supporting the German war
effort, including important hydroelectric plants, which would
severely limit the production of strategic materials used by
the Axis powers.
(3) From July 1942 through June 1943, volunteers of the
Force trained in hazardous, arctic conditions in the mountains
of western Montana, and in the waterways of Camp Bradford,
Virginia.
(4) The combat echelon of the Force totaled 1,800 soldiers,
half from the United States and half from Canada.
(5) The Force also contained a service battalion, composed
of 800 members from the United States, that provided important
support for the combat troops.
(6) A special bond developed between the Canadian and
United States soldiers, who were not segregated by country,
although the commander of the Force was a United States
colonel.
(7) The Force was the only unit formed during World War II
that consisted of troops from Canada and the United States.
(8) In October 1943, the Force went to Italy, where it
fought in battles south of Cassino, including Monte La Difensa
and Monte Majo, two mountain peaks that were a critical anchor
of the German defense line.
(9) During the night of December 3, 1943, the Force
ascended to the top of the precipitous face of Monte La
Difensa, where the Force suffered heavy casualties and overcame
fierce resistance to overtake the German line.
(10) After the battle for La Difensa, the Force continued
to fight tough battles at high altitudes, in rugged terrain,
and in severe weather.
(11) After battles on the strongly defended Italian peaks
of Sammucro, Vischiataro, and Remetanea, the size of the Force
had been reduced from 1,800 soldiers to fewer than 500.
(12) For 4 months in 1944, the Force engaged in raids and
aggressive patrols at the Anzio Beachhead.
(13) On June 4, 1944, members of the Force were among the
first Allied troops to liberate Rome.
(14) After liberating Rome, the Force moved to southern
Italy and prepared to assist in the liberation of France.
(15) During the early morning of August 15, 1944, members
of the Force made silent landings on Les Iles D'Hyeres, small
islands in the Mediterranean Sea along the southern coast of
France.
(16) The Force faced a sustained and withering assault from
the German garrisons as the Force progressed from the islands
to the Franco-Italian border.
(17) After the Allied forces secured the Franco-Italian
border, the United States Army ordered the disbandment of the
Force on December 5, 1944, in Nice, France.
(18) During 251 days of combat, the Force suffered 2,314
casualties, or 134 percent of its authorized strength, captured
thousands of prisoners, won 5 United States campaign stars and
8 Canadian battle honors, and never failed a mission.
(19) The United States is forever indebted to the acts of
bravery and selflessness of the troops of the Force, who risked
their lives for the cause of freedom.
(20) The efforts of the Force along the seas and skies of
Europe were critical in repelling the advance of Nazi Germany
and liberating numerous communities in France and Italy.
(21) The bond between the members of the Force from the
United States and those from Canada has endured over the
decades, as the members meet every year for a reunion,
alternating between the United States and Canada.
(22) The traditions and honors exhibited by the Force are
carried on by 2 outstanding active units of 2 great
democracies, the Special Forces of the United States and the
Canadian Special Operations Regiment.
