summary: "The U.S. Agency for International Development is the federal foreign-aid agency established in 1961 whose Office of Public Safety provided police training in Latin America and Southeast Asia that served as cover for CIA operations and counterinsurgency interrogation programs."

The Agency for International Development (USAID) is the [[United States]] government agency responsible for administering civilian foreign aid and development assistance, created in 1961 under the Foreign Assistance Act signed by President [[John F. Kennedy]]. Conceived as an instrument of [[Cold War]] development policy, it operated alongside and at times as cover for U.S. intelligence and counterinsurgency activity.[^1]
|
||||
|
||||
### Office of Public Safety
|
||||
|
||||
From 1962 to 1974 USAID housed the Office of Public Safety (OPS), which trained foreign police forces in more than fifty countries. OPS ran the International Police Academy in [[Washington, D.C.]] and, in [[Latin America]] and Southeast Asia, provided equipment and instruction that extended to interrogation methods. The OPS adviser [[Dan Mitrione]], stationed in [[Uruguay]], became notorious for allegations that he taught torture techniques before his 1970 kidnapping and killing by the Tupamaros. Congress abolished OPS in 1974 after these abuses drew scrutiny.[^2]
|
||||
|
||||
### Intelligence Cover
|
||||
|
||||
USAID missions repeatedly provided official cover for [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]] officers, and OPS police-training programs gave the agency access to foreign internal-security services. The pattern paralleled the use of academic and development institutions documented in programs such as [[Project Camelot]].[^1][^2]

The Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) are the body of senior uniformed leaders of the [[United States]] armed forces who serve as the principal military advisers to the president, the [[National Security Council]], and the secretary of defense. Formed during [[World War II]] and given statutory basis by the [[National Security Act of 1947]], the JCS comprise a chairman, a vice chairman, and the chiefs of the military services.[^1]
|
||||
|
||||
### Operation Northwoods
|
||||
|
||||
In March 1962 the Joint Chiefs, under Chairman [[Lyman Lemnitzer]], approved and forwarded to Secretary of Defense [[Robert S. McNamara]] a plan code-named Operation Northwoods, which proposed manufacturing pretexts for war with [[Cuba]], including staged terrorist attacks on American soil and the faked shoot-down of civilian aircraft to be blamed on the [[Fidel Castro|Castro]] government. The civilian leadership rejected the plan, and it remained classified until its release in 1997 through the [[John F. Kennedy|Kennedy]] Assassination Records Review Board.[^2]
|
||||
|
||||
### Counterinsurgency Oversight
|
||||
|
||||
Through the Cold War the JCS sat at the center of covert-action oversight, providing military representation on the interagency bodies that supervised counterinsurgency policy and reviewed [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]] paramilitary operations.[^1]
