Description:
This US field manual lists guidelines of the US intelligence services regarding relations with foreign host countries at the end of the 1960s. It is in the interest of the US that the newly established regimes stabilize and do not become Communist. Therefore the US aims to build contacts with and influence military, police, and intelligence officers seen as "loyal" to the US. The US intends to recruit long-term agents in the respective countries. The manual also discusses the use of US agents provocateurs among local insurgencies to stimulate "violent or non-violent actions" that will make the local government appreciate the dangers of Communist subversion.
