The Alamo Scouts Sixth Army Special Reconnaissance in Military Issues Resource Directory

    

During World War II a small group of specially chosen, specially trained men infiltrated Japanese occupied islands in the Southwest Pacific Theatre to prepare for the return of allied forces. This group of men were the 132 members of the little known unit called the Alamo Scouts. It is our goal to bring to light the efforts of these men, the acts of heroism, the sacrifices, and the comradeship they shared. This website dedicated to the 132 men who were the Alamo Scouts. During WWII it was the Alamo Scouts who entered the Japanese occupied islands in the South Pacific and conducted 107 covert operations without losing a single man. Each team was made up of 6 to 7 men who risked their lives against seemingly unbeatable odds. Their combined operations totaled 1482 days behind enemy lines.
