To: All DET-66 Personnel Ladies and gentlemen,let me say this once and make it clear: this Agency's operations of late have been damn sloppy and unprofessional, and its going to stop. I don't know what exactly happened in Oregon, and I'm not sure I want to know how a known Nazi POW was carrying COI credentials, but By God its not going to happen again. If Colonel Donovan had not stayed my hand, those German prisoners you turned loose on the United States would have you for company in their new cells. If you think I'm joking, try a stunt like that again. Discipline in this outfit has been almost non-existent, which I think is owed in no small measure to my predecessor Major MacGruder's efforts. Operations are being dangerously mis-handled, field team strategies are non-existent, and After-Action reports have been written poorly or, in some cases, not at all. We are at a critical stage in this war, people, and we cannot afford to behave like a bunch of amateurs. I expect brushed up After-Action reports on my desk by Monday morning, and it wouldn't hurt if we could complete the damn dossiers with the photographs they're supposed to have. There is an important mission coming down the pipe from the very top, and I'll be damned if this agency is going to look like a kindergarten playroom when the brass comes around. If I haven't made myself absolutely clear, feel free to climb out of the bottle and drag your sorry asses into my office for a clarification. That is all. Col. Olsen, OSS/D66
