Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress finds the following:
(1) The 23rd Headquarters Special Troops (the ''Ghost
Army'') was a top-secret unit of the United States Army that
served in the European Theater of Operations during World War
II.
(2) The unit was actively engaged in battlefield operations
from June of 1944 through March of 1945.
(3) The deceptive activities of the Ghost Army were
essential to several Allied victories across Europe and are
estimated to have saved thousands of lives.
(4) In evaluating the performance of the Ghost Army after
the War, a U.S. Army analysis found that ''Rarely, if ever, has
there been a group of such a few men which had so great an
influence on the outcome of a major military campaign.''.
(5) Many Ghost Army soldiers were specially selected for
their mission, and were recruited from art schools, advertising
agencies, communications companies, and other creative and
technical professions.
(6) The first four members of the Ghost Army landed on D-
Day and two became casualties while camouflaging early beach
installations.
(7) The Ghost Army's secret deception operations commenced
in France on June 14, 1944, when Task Force Mason landed at
Omaha Beach to draw enemy fire and protect the 980th Artillery
for 28 days.
(8) Task Force Mason was a prelude to 21 full-scale
tactical deceptions completed by the Ghost Army.
(9) Often operating on or near the front lines, the Ghost
Army used inflatable tanks, artillery, airplanes and other
vehicles, advanced engineered soundtracks, and skillfully
crafted radio trickery to create the illusion of sizable
American forces where there were none and to draw the enemy
away from Allied troops.
(10) Ghost Army soldiers impersonated other, larger Army
units by sewing counterfeit patches onto their uniforms,
painting false markings on their vehicles, and creating phony
headquarters staffed by fake generals, all in an effort to feed
false information to Axis spies.
(11) During the Battle of the Bulge, the Ghost Army created
counterfeit radio traffic to mask the efforts of General George
Patton's Third Army as it mobilized to break through to the
101st Airborne and elements of 10th Armored Division in the
besieged Belgian town of Bastogne.
(12) In its final mission, Operation Viersen, the Ghost
Army deployed a tactical deception that drew German units down
the Rhine River and away from the 9th Army, allowing the 9th
Army to cross the Rhine into Germany. On this mission, the
1,100 men of the Ghost Army, with the assistance of other
units, impersonated forty thousand men, or two complete
divisions of American forces, by using fabricated radio
networks, soundtracks of construction work and artillery fire,
and more than 600 inflatable vehicles.
(13) Three Ghost Army soldiers gave their lives and dozens
were injured in carrying out their mission.
(14) The activities of the Ghost Army remained classified
for more than forty years after the war and the extraordinary
accomplishments of this unit are deserving of belated
recognition.
(15) The United States will be eternally grateful to the
Ghost Army for their proficient use of innovative tactics
throughout World War II, which saved thousands of lives and
were instrumental in the defeat of Nazi Germany.
