But they were also highly motivated and determined to make a difference in the war.

The group of OSS officers who were sent to Burma were led by Captain John Coughlin. Coughlin was a former Marine who had been recruited by the OSS because of his experience in guerrilla warfare. He was a tough and resourceful leader, and he quickly earned the respect of his men.
